Chorizo and Egg Sandwich
2 servings
30 minutes
A sandwich with chorizo and egg is a flavorful example of Mexican street food. Chorizo, a spicy sausage with deep spice notes, releases juices when fried that soak into the bread for a rich taste. The sunny-side-up egg with its soft yolk adds a creamy texture, while the crispy crust of rustic bread balances each serving. This sandwich is an ideal choice for a quick yet impressive breakfast or snack. In Mexican cuisine, chorizo is widely used in various dishes, adding distinctive spiciness and depth of flavor. Combined with crispy bread and tender egg, it becomes a true gastronomic delight. The sandwich is served hot, cut into triangles so each bite is infused with aromas that evoke the cozy feel of a Mexican morning.
