1. Remove the sausage meat from the sausage casing. In a hot skillet, fry the sausage meat until medium well done. Remove from heat and set aside
2. Crack the two eggs into a bowl. Add 1.25 ml (1/4 tsp) water and stir with a fork until blended. Set aside
3. Using a cold non-stick crepe or frying pan, coat with the coconut oil or butter
4. Grate the cheese, using the medium-fine side of the grater, directly onto the surface of your pan, making an evenly distributed layer
5. Place pan over medium heat heat and cook until the cheese is completely melted. Continue to cook until a light golden color, and the cheese is caramelized
7. Pour the egg mixture on top of the caramelized cheese and tilt pan to coat evenly the surface
8. To only one half of the omelette, sprinkle the spring/green onion.
10. (OPTIONAL) over the green onion, evenly distribute the finely diced jalapeno pepper.
11. Distribute the prepared chorizo sausage on top of the other ingredients
12. When egg is almost set, using a silicone spatula, carefully fold the half without the ingredients on top of the half with the ingredients. Cook for a couple of minutes or until the bottom looks dark golden and crispy
13. Flip the folded omelette and cook until the other side is also a rich golden and crispy
For some reason, a stainless steel skillet, even when you have coated it with lots of oil or butter, still makes it hard to fold the omelette. When I used a stainless steel or cast iron skillet, the cheese stuck to the bottom, and when I tried to slide my spatula under the egg and cheese it always tore or stuck.
What is the origin of chorizo sausages?
Catalonia, a region in northern Spain, is considered the origin of chorizo sausages. The Spanish version does not have peppers, which originated from Mexico and Central and South America.
The chorizo sausage was introduced into Mexico when the Spaniards brought pigs with them.
The difference between the Mexican and Spanish version of the chorizo is that the Spanish version is aged much longer like a salami. Spanish Chorizo is cured, and harder and smokier, while the Mexican sausage is a fresh and spicier sausage.
