5 ounces longaniza, casing removed
3 eggs
Salt to taste
Ground black pepper to taste

Original recipe yield: 2 servings

Directions

Step 1: Place the longaniza in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover it with a paper towel and microwave on high for 1 minute.

Step 2: Remove the bowl and break up the longaniza into smaller pieces. Cover again with a paper towel and microwave for another 1 minute.

Step 3: Stir the longaniza, cover it once more, and microwave for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4: Remove the bowl from the microwave and mix in the eggs until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Return the bowl to the microwave and cook for 45 seconds. Stir the mixture, then continue cooking until the eggs are set, about 45 more seconds.

Step 6: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the longaniza releases excess grease, drain it before adding the eggs.

Cook's Note

I used Aldi's brand of longaniza, which is not overly greasy. Adjust cooking time slightly if using a different brand.
