Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 5 ounces longaniza, casing removed

  • 3 eggs

  • salt to taste

  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place longaniza in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for 1 minute. Remove bowl from microwave and break up longaniza. Cover with paper towel and microwave 1 minute more. Remove bowl, stir longaniza, cover, and microwave 1 additional minute.

  2. Remove bowl from microwave and stir in eggs, mixing until well incorporated. Return bowl to the microwave and cook for 45 seconds. Stir and continue cooking until eggs have set, 45 more seconds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Cook's Note:

Drain bowl if longaniza releases grease before adding eggs. I used Aldi(R)'s brand of longaniza, which I find not to be greasy.
