Chorizo Strata

This morning I made this quick and delicious Chorizo Strata

I started by cooking the Chorizo most of the way.  When you are dealing with pork you want to make sure the meat is properly cooked.   

While the Chorizo was cooking I was cutting up a loaf of Jalapeno Cheese bread into cubes and placing them into a greased baking pan.  I mixed up about 15 eggs and added about a half cup of whole milk and poured it over the bread cubes.  This gave the bread time to start absorbing the milk and egg mixture.

I also cut up one bunch of green onions.  I like to use the whole onion.  And diced up to whole green chiles.  

Once the Chorizo was done cooking I spread the Chorizo over the egg and bread mixture, made a layer of green onion and chile and finished with a hearty layer of shredded cheese.  I like to use the cheddar and mozzarella blend.

I topped it with the remaining two whole green chiles and baked it in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes. 

This dish can be served hot or cold and always with sour cream and salsa. 

So to recap,

I used 1 and a half pounds of freshly made Chorizo.  15 eggs and a half cup of whole milk.  One bunch of green onion and one can of whole green chiles.  A hearty bunch of shredded cheese, sour cream and salsa.
