Mexican Chorizo Breakfast Bake
  1. 1

    Assemble all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook, stirring to break the meat into small pieces, until browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Do not wipe out the skillet.

  3. 3

    Add bell pepper and poblano to the drippings in the skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, garlic salt, onion powder, black pepper, and chili powder until fully blended. Stir in sausage, bell pepper and poblano, and cheeses until well combined.

  5. 5

    Spread hashbrowns in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the hashbrowns, pressing to fully submerge the hash browns.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are set in the center and the top is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes. Top evenly with avocado slices. Sprinkle evenly with scallions. Recipe developed by Amanda Stanfield

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
