Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 8 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
Chorizo Gravy
- 12 oz Cacique pork chorizo (spicy flavor)
- 1/2 medium onion (white or yellow), finely diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (can substitute gluten-free flour)
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk (non-dairy milk works well)
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, follow the package instructions for baking. If making homemade biscuits, roll out your favorite dough and bake until golden and fluffy, then set aside.
- Cook the Chorizo: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chorizo is browned and cooked through, allowing the flavors to develop.
- Add Onions: Stir in the finely diced onion with the chorizo. Continue cooking for about 7 minutes until the onions soften and become translucent, blending their sweetness with the chorizo’s spice.
- Create the Roux: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the chorizo and onion mixture. Stir constantly and cook for about 1 minute until the flour turns a light golden color, which helps thicken the gravy.
- Make the Gravy: Lower the heat to medium-low and gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve: Ladle the hot chorizo gravy generously over the warm, fluffy biscuits. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately for a comforting breakfast experience.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour in the gravy and gluten-free biscuits.
- Non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk can be used as a substitute for whole milk to accommodate dietary preferences.
- Adjust the spice level by choosing mild or hot chorizo according to your preference.
- Leftover gravy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
- Adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper can enhance the smoky and spicy flavor of the gravy.
