Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 6 slices cured Spanish chorizo, chopped

  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 4 eggs, beaten

  • ¼ teaspoon hot paprika, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo; cook until just beginning to crisp, about 2 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes; season with 1 pinch salt. Cook and stir until tomatoes soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.

  2. Beat eggs in a small bowl; season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook and stir until eggs are set, 3 to 5 minutes.
