Description

Biscuits and Chorizo Gravy is a hearty and comforting breakfast dish that combines flaky, golden biscuits with a rich and spicy pork chorizo gravy. This flavorful twist on the classic sausage gravy is perfect for a cozy morning meal, bringing warmth and satisfaction to your table in just 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

Biscuits

  • 8 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)

Chorizo Gravy

  • 12 oz Cacique pork chorizo (spicy flavor and richness)
  • 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

  1. Prepare the Biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, bake according to the package instructions until golden and fluffy. For homemade biscuits, roll out your favorite dough and bake until golden brown and soft.
  2. Cook the Chorizo: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork chorizo and break it apart with a spatula. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the chorizo is fully cooked and browned.
  3. Add the Onion: Stir in the finely diced onion with the chorizo, cooking for about 7 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
  4. Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the chorizo and onion mixture. Stir continuously and cook for about 1 minute until the flour turns a light golden color.
  5. Add the Milk: Lower the heat to medium-low and gradually stir in the whole milk. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency.
  6. Season and Serve: Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the hot chorizo gravy generously over the warm biscuits and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • Non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk can be used as a dairy-free alternative; however, the gravy might have a slightly different flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the level of spice by choosing mild or extra spicy chorizo according to your preference.
  • Leftover gravy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
