Ingredients
  • 4 oz Chorizo sausage
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Cheddar cheese slices
  • 2 English muffins
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Olive oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Clean the grates with a wire brush and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.

Cook the Chorizo

Remove chorizo from its casing, if necessary. Crumble the chorizo and place it in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is cooked through and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cook the Eggs

While the chorizo is cooking, heat a small amount of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness. For over-easy, cook for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Grill the Muffins

Lightly butter the cut sides of the English muffins. Place the muffins, butter-side down, on the preheated grill. Grill for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted and grill marks appear.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each grilled muffin. Top with the cooked chorizo, then the cooked egg. Add the top half of the grilled muffin. Serve immediately and enjoy!
