This Cheesy Chorizo Breakfast Bake is the perfect comfort food breakfast for a lazy weekday morning. It is also a great option for meal prep.
This Keto Cheesy Chorizo Breakfast Bake is one of my favorite lazy Saturday morning breakfasts. I love to whip this up on a weekend morning and then have it for breakfast all throughout the week. It is so good topped with sour cream and green onions. The cool creaminess of the sour cream compliments the spiciness of the chorizo perfectly.

This was fabulous!! I was worried about it being too eggy but the all the cheese gave it a wonderful crusty, bready feel and taste. A real winner that will be in our dinner rotation...

I tried this recipe today; with a couple of "tweaks". Instead of the plain cream cheese; I used Philidelphia Sante Fe Blend cooking sauce cream cheese, and added a small can of diced green chilies. It got rave reviews from everybody! I agree that adding the sour cream on top adds a great finish to the casserole. Thanks for a keeper of a recipe!

Just made this, it's awesome! I didn't have raw chorizo just a large cooked chorizo sausage, diced it up and cooked as per directions. Fantastic breakfast. Thanks for the recipe.

I just made this and was blown away. The flavors and textures go together well - and this is a dish that can travel.
Chunks will be coming to work for lunch this week.
Thank you for sharing.

Can we substitute something else for the chorizo?

Maybe try sausage or even ground beef or turkey

I used regular Italian sausage, just took the casings off. It was fantastic. I'm spice a wimp.

My boyfriend is so obsessed with this recipe. I've made it for him pretty much every week for the last month. I actually use a muffin pan to make little portable egg muffins that easy to grab and go. The recipe is the perfect amount for 12 egg muffins.

This recipe was really good. I substituted soy chorizo (12oz.) and used green peppers instead of mushrooms. Also used 8 eggs instead of 6. The cream cheese made it extra creamy. Thanks for the recipe.

Just pulled mine out of the oven and I can just tell how delicious it will be. I did end up using spicy italian sausage cause I couldn't find chorizo at the market. I did notice it said to saute onion and garlic for 20 mins. Is that a typo? Seemed really long so I just used my best judgement.
