Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 8 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
Chorizo Gravy
- 12 oz Cacique pork chorizo (spicy flavor and richness)
- 1/2 medium onion (white or yellow), finely diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (can swap for gluten-free flour)
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk (non-dairy milk works well)
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, bake according to the package instructions until golden and fluffy. For homemade biscuits, roll out your favorite biscuit dough and bake until golden on top.
- Brown the Chorizo: In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add the chorizo. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully browned and cooked through.
- Add Onion: Stir in the finely diced onion and cook with the chorizo for about 7 minutes until the onion is softened and translucent.
- Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the chorizo and onion mixture. Stir continuously and cook for about 1 minute until the flour turns a light golden color, indicating that it is cooked.
- Add Milk: Reduce heat to medium-low. Gradually stir in the milk, mixing well to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Season and Serve: Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the hot chorizo gravy generously over the warm biscuits and serve immediately for a comforting breakfast experience.
Notes
- You can use gluten-free flour as a substitute if you need a gluten-free option.
- Non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk works well if you prefer a dairy-free version, but whole milk provides the creamiest texture.
- Adjust the spice level by choosing mild or spicy chorizo based on your preference.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the gravy.
