"One of those dishes that could be breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Was also suggested you could serve with a garden salad (mixed leaves, tomato, cucumber, carrot, avocado or whatever vegies you like) and you could use your own mix of vegetables in the omelette but do use the chorizo as that adds the spice element.

This is so delicious - I loved it! I used a pre-cooked wine Chorizo Sausage with Jalapeno. Removed the outside skin and chopped it in my mini chopper. Also chopped the onion & mushroom in the chopper. It took no time to get the ingredient ready. I cut the recipe back to 2 eggs for one serving.I was generous with the chorizo & the rest of the filling. This goes into my favourites.

Occasionally my family and I enjoy having breakfast for dinner. With our busy lives, we feel comforted by having breakfast fare for it gives us a feeling of slowing-down from the hectic weekday. This particular omelet was a thrill to make for my love of Portuguese chouriço (bought from a local Portuguese market). The addition of spinach and mushrooms put it over the top. A keeper ImPat! Thank you for sharing.
