Have you ever had a Chorizo Breakfast sandwich? Chorizo is just pork seasoned with wonderful herbs and spices like paprika, chili powder, cumin and more. In this recipe I give instructions on how to season pork to turn it into chorizo, but you can access ready made chorizo sausage or chorizo sausage patties at many grocery stores. This Spicy pork is paired with a seasoned fluffy baked egg, atop an airy English muffin.
These make a great freezer meal! Make a dozen now and enjoy on your busy mornings.

Freeze for Later:
These are great fresh but also wonderful to have in the freezer and have ready for busy mornings. Simply wrap in paper wax paper and place in a freezer grade plastic bag, such as ziploc, for up to 6 months.
To Reheat: They are of the best quality when defrosted overnight in the fridge and then in the morning you can wrap in paper towel and heat for 1 minute, flip and heat for another minute. Every microwave heats differently so continue to microwave until heated through. 🙂
You can also reheat in the oven. Again, defrost first. Unwrap each sandwich as wax paper cannot go in the oven. Place in a 9x13" pan or on a cookie sheet and cover with foil. Heat for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

Instructions
Sausage
- Mix the ground pork and seasons well. Form into 12 equal pieces and then flatten to form the patty. I aim to have the patty the same size as the bun I am using. remember that as the meat cooks, it will shrink.
- Brush each patty with the white vinegar. Flip, and brush the other side of the patty. Let the formed sausage patties sit in the fridge to firm up - minimum of 20 minutes
- In an electric griddle or frying pan on med-high heat, sear the meat and cook with a lid on. The lid will help contain the mess and keep the steam in to cook the meat through. Pork is cooked well done at an internal temperature of 170°F
Eggs

- Whisk together the eggs, milk and seasonings. Pour into a 9x13" pan that has been greased. Bake for 25 minutes. Check to see if the eggs are set in the middle. Remove once the eggs are set. Once cooked, cut into 12 equal pieces.
