Ingredients
You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make this. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here's an overview of what you'll need:

- Heavy Whipping cream
- Shredded Cheddar
- Chorizo
- Scallions
See recipe card for Chorizo Breakfast Skillet quantities.
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream, then stir in the cheese, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or other ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Cook the chorizo slices until browned on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the scallions and egg mixture evenly over the sausage in the skillet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the eggs are set.
Run a knife around the edge of the skillet before slicing. Garnish with more scallions, if desired, and serve immediately.
Hint: Cook the eggs to your desired doneness.
Substitutions
Eggs: For best quality, use good quality eggs like cage free or pasture raised eggs.
Heavy whipping cream: I used heavy whipping cream but you could even use sour cream for a thicker consistency or half and half for a thinner consistency.
Cheese: I love using cheddar cheese but you can use any shredded cheese that melts easily.
Chorizo: I love using chorizo, but you could use breakfast links instead.
Scallions: Scallions give the dish a nice color. You could use green onion, chives or parsley.
Variations
Cooking is a chance to be creative! Have fun with it and feel free to make your own variation.
- Spicy - add chili pepper flakes into the egg mixture, or top with hot sauce at the end.
- Deluxe - serve with crusty bread or a tostada.
- Kid friendly - add crushed potato chips on top.

Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.

These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.
