Ingredients:
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 15 oz of Mulay’s Chorizo Paleo Sausage
- 4 egg whites
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups of Macadamia Milk (Milkadamia)
- 1 tbsp. of olive oil
- 1/2 tsp of Slap Ya Mama Original Spice
- 2/3 cups of Sargento Sharp Shredded Cheddar 2% reduced fat – Optional for Paleo

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the egg whites with the eggs, the slap ya mama spice ( or salt and pepper), and whisk the mixture til everything is combined.
Add the 2 cups of Macadamia Milk and mix thoroughly.
Turn on the heat for a large pot to medium low. Add the olive oil and onions.
Sauté for about 4 mins. Then add the bell peppers and sauté until the bell peppers are easy to pierce and the onions are translucent.
Then transfer the mixture evenly to two separate baking dishes that have been sprayed with olive oil.
Now add the chorizo to the pot over medium heat.
Break the chorizo apart as it cooks with your wooden spoon or cooking utensil. Cook for about 5-7 mins or until the chorizo is mostly cooked through.
Remove from the heat. With a slotted spoon evenly distribute the chorizo to both baking dishes.
Then for everyone but the Paleo’s, add the half of the 1/3 cup of cheese to each baking dish.
Then evenly distribute the egg mixture to both dishes. Top with half of 1/3 cup of cheese to each baking dish.
Place into the oven for 30 mins.
