Notes
Chorizo varies greatly in fat content. Cook it first to render the fat, then you can drain some if desired before adding the egg, depending on your preference. For scrambled eggs, whisk the egg well before adding to the hot pan with the chorizo. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently for soft curds, or cook undisturbed for firmer eggs. Season with salt and pepper if needed, though chorizo is typically quite salty.
