Potato and Chorizo Breakfast Muffins
Wake up to a flavor-packed morning with these Potato and Chorizo Breakfast Muffins! These savory muffins combine the richness of chorizo with tender, fluffy potatoes, a hint of sharp cheddar, and a delicate touch of green onions to create a satisfying, hearty breakfast that's perfect for busy mornings or a leisurely brunch. This recipe draws inspiration from traditional Spanish and Mexican cuisine, integrating the spicy chorizo traditionally used in these cultures.
Ingredients
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
- Green onions
- 2, finely chopped
- Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup, shredded
- Milk
- 1/2 cup
- Eggs
- 6, beaten
- Potatoes
- 2 medium, peeled, boiled and diced
- Chorizo
- 200 grams, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled chorizo, diced potatoes, beaten eggs, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and finely chopped green onions. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop for even distribution, fill each cup of the prepared muffin tin with the mixture.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are set, golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- After removing the muffins from the oven, allow them to cool in the tin for at least 5 minutes to make removal easier. Serve them warm and enjoy the burst of flavors that each bite offers.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, replace the chorizo with a plant-based alternative.
- You can also add other ingredients like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- These muffins can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or frozen for up to a month. Just reheat in the microwave when ready to serve.
