Chorizo and Eggs
I love to eat eggs for breakfast. Most of the time I eat them when I go out and occasionally I’ll whip some up on a weekend morning. I don’t usually do anything fancy with them when I’m cooking them up at home, usually just some fried eggs and toast to quickly quench my egg craving.
A little while back, however, I was in Chicago and had breakfast with a friend. The restaurant was a cute place with a great menu, including an item of eggs and chorizo with cornbread. It had all the ingredients for a great breakfast…and I loved it!
That weekend I decided to break my usual routine and to replicate my chorizo and egg breakfast at home. I had picked up a little chorizo at the store and had some leftover cornbread from a few nights before. I sauteed the chorizo with some onions and diced potato, then added the cubed cornbread. All this was piled onto a warm tortilla and then topped with poached eggs. Just as I had remembered – savory, spicy and sweet…at home on a Saturday morning.
