Portuguese Chorizo Egg Casserole Recipe

When it comes to Portuguese cuisine, this one is one of my favorites. It starts with a juicy sausage, chorizo that has all the full flavour that just comes out in this dish. From the pork, paprika, garlic and fully smoked sausage creates a perfect fit to any combination.

I remember when my Mother made this and the aroma from the kitchen drove me crazy, so much, to the point that I would just grab some bread and when no one was looking, I just scooped it out on the bread and I was in heaven. Well, the pot here did not last long on the table, it was gone in a few minutes.

Please let us know how your dish turned out and did you add anything else to it.

Now you can really use any type of sausage, just make sure that it has some good deep flavour, so it can blend in with this dish. I have tried this also with bacon and it was also good, but I still prefer the chorizo.

Try to slice the sausage as thin as possible, for in this way it will release the juices making a great sauce.

Remember to not over fry it for we do not want it on the crisp side, but soft and moist.

Piri Piri is my favourite hot sauce, but you can use really any type that will make you happy. Go ahead and add as much as you want, make your day.

Use any type of veggies that you like, it is really up to you.

Cook the eggs until you get it to the hardness that you would like, that again depends on your taste. Me I like them on the soft side, but my Girlfriends likes them a bit more solid.
