Notes

Recipe Variations

Turkey Twist: For a lighter option, substitute the chorizo with turkey chorizo. This leaner alternative still offers the same spices and flavors while being lower in fat.
Feta Finesse: Replace the Manchego cheese with crumbled feta cheese. The tangy and salty feta adds a Mediterranean twist to the dish while maintaining its creamy essence.
Egg White Embrace: If you’re watching your fat intake, consider using a combination of whole eggs and egg whites in the scramble. This variation reduces the overall fat content while keeping the protein intake high.
