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 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 them according to the package instructions. For homemade biscuits, roll out your preferred dough and bake until golden and fluffy.
- Brown 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 fully browned and cooked through, allowing it to release its spicy, smoky oils.
- Cook the Onion: Add the finely diced onion to the pan with the chorizo. Stir and cook for about 7 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent, blending with the chorizo flavors.
- Add the Flour: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the chorizo and onion mixture. Stir and cook for about 1 minute, allowing the flour to absorb the fats and turn a light golden color. This step helps to thicken the gravy.
- Simmer the Gravy: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Serve: Ladle the hot chorizo gravy generously over the warm biscuits. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve immediately for a comforting breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can use gluten-free flour if you prefer a gluten-free version of the gravy.
- Non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk can be used instead of whole milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the spiciness of the gravy by selecting milder or hotter chorizo varieties.
- Leftover gravy can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- To make homemade biscuits, use your favorite recipe or a simple baking mix for convenience.
