Chorizo and Arugula Scrambled Eggs



Pin It

It you’re anything like me, cooking really isn’t just about the food. It’s a social endeavour of sorts.I’ll cook up a storm for friends and family any day of the week, but tend to shy away from elaborate concoctions when I’m cooking for myself.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll indulge in a plateful of delicious cheese, cured meat and bread, or a rustic salad with a tangy dressing, but I usually keep it simple — and quick. This dish is a new favourite I wanted to share. It’s barely a recipe but just a pleasant mix of satisfying ingredients. Silky scrambled eggs cooked low and slow (none of those rubbery, overdone eggs here!), crispy chorizo & a handful of fresh arugula served on top of buttery Challah bread. {Toronto folks, the Challah bread from Harbord bakery is divine!}

I’ve enjoyed this for a lazy breakfast but it also makes a delicious (and easy!) breakfast-for-dinner option.

    Chorizo with anything is pretty delicious and I can just imagine what a great lift it would give to the eggs.

    Eggs (and potatoes) are pretty much my go to ingredient for most meals, but especially when I’m on my own. I love the look of this dish – so colourful!

    This looks delicious and simple! I love the idea of chorizo in my eggs for breakfast. Extra protein for breakfast is always a good idea.

    Sherri: I agree – and you only need a small amount of chorizo for that flavour boost.

    I’m not so fond of scrambled eggs because I’ve some difficulties to digest eggs, but yours seem delicious!

    Have a nice Sunday.
