Ingredients
4 chorizo or Italian sausages
1 red onion, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups bottled chunky salsa
2 cups grated cheddar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
8 eggs
2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Oil a large frying pan set over medium heat. Prick sausages in several places and place in pan. Turn often until browned, 4 to 6 min. It's ok if they aren't completely cooked. Remove from pan. Slice crosswise into thin rounds. Coat pan with more oil, then add onion and pepper. Stir often until they start to soften, 3 min. Add salsa and stir until hot, 1 to 2 min. Stir in sausages. In a small bowl, toss half the cheese with flour. Stir into salsa mixture in pan. Spoon over bottom of a 9x13-in. (3-L) baking dish.
Crack eggs overtop, spacing so they don't touch. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, in centre of oven until whites of eggs are set, but centres are still runny, 15 to 20 min. Let stand 5 min., then spoon onto plates. Sprinkle with green onion.
