Low Carb Chorizo Egg Bake

Last Saturday I was trying to think of what would be good for breakfast. I really didn't want to do the same old thing we do every weekend and something about an Egg Bake sounded like a great substitute. Unfortunately most egg bakes have bread in them and we didn't really have a low carb recipe to follow at the time so I looked through the fridge and tried to whip something up with what we had. So what did we have to work with?
  1. Eggs, about 10. I whipped them together real good. Called them names. made them feel ashamed to be eggs. Then I added a little cream to creamy them up.
  2. Pepper Jack Cheese. I mixed in some shredded cheese into the eggs. Maybe a 1/2- a cup. maybe more. Follow you heart,
  3. Fresh Cilantro. cut this stuff up and mixed it in. Not a ton, maybe a 1/8 cup.
  4. Plain Greek Yogurt. I took about 3 spoonful's and whisked this into the eggs so it would break it down a bit and add some density. If I had cottage cheese I may have used that instead. I did not. I mixed all the above together and pour in a glass baking dish.
  5. Chorizo Sausage. I had some leftover and uncooked that a cooked in a pan quickly. I added it to the mixture in small chucks. I didn't want to mix it in completely because I thought creating flavor pockets was the was to go and this chorizo break apart easy.
  6. Salsa, added some spoonful's of salsa in various parts of the dish.
  7. We baked it for about 23 minutes at 425 degree.

It was tasty. I would play around with the mix a bit more to see how I could get a more fluffy texture to it. I would contemplating using an electric mixer so that it would get more airy next time too. but still. Easy peasy and good taste.
