Use Isernio’s hot Italian links or Spicy Chicken Breakfast Roll for this tasty breakfast. Have warm flour tortillas and your favorite salsa on hand to accompany the eggs.
Baked Eggs Veracruzana
Ingredients
- 4 links hot Italian, or 1 Chicken Sausage Roll (Breakfast or Spicy Breakfast)
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 8 eggs, large
- 6 Tbsp. half n' half
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (or other cheese of choice)
- 4 oz. can green chilies, chopped, drained
- Salsa, for garnish and serving
Instructions
- Heat a non stick 12" skillet over medium heat. Remove casings from link sausage or slice roll open, and place in skillet, break up and crumble sausage with a flat wooden spoon. Cook sausage until it just loses its pinkness. Don't over cook or brown sausage. Set aside.
- Place butter in an 8" - square baking dish, preferably one that is suitable for bringing to the table. Set in a pre-heated 350 degree oven to melt the butter. Shake the pan to distribute the butter evenly.
- Slightly beat the eggs, half n' half, salt and pepper. Pour into the pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or just until the eggs begin to set.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle the cooked chorizo, shredded cheese and chopped chilies on top of the eggs. Draw a wide metal spatula across the bottom of the pan several times to break up the mixture and incorporate the ingredients.
- Place back in oven and bake, breaking the mixture up again several times, for 5 more minutes, or until desired doneness is achieved.
- Remove from oven and take directly to table, offering salsa and warm flour tortillas as accompaniments.
