Categories: Breakfast, Eggs

Ingredients

  • 6 -7 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 lb pasqual's chorizo sausage (or other bulk chorizo)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 (15 1/2 ounce) can hominy, drained (preferably yellow hominy)

Directions

  1. Break eggs into a bowl; add in cream, salt, and pepper.
  2. Whisk just long enough to combine; set aside.

  3. Add the chorizo to a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.

  4. Fry until well browned and cooked, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks.

  5. Add enough butter to the drippings to make about 2 tablespoons of fat.

  6. When the butter is melted, add in the hominy and heat through.

  7. Scoop out about ½ cup of the hominy mixture and reserve; lower the heat to med-low.

  8. Pour in the egg mixture; cook 3-4 minutes, frequently stirring up from the bottom with a spatula, until the eggs form soft curds and are lightly set but still look a little runny (do not overcook).

  9. Remove from the heat and stir an additional time or two.

  10. Top each portion with some of the reserved hominy; serve immediately.
