Southwest Chorizo Grilled Cheese

In a skillet over medium heat, scramble the eggs until just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
On two slices of bread, layer half of the cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs, crumbled chorizo, roasted peppers, and Monterey Jack cheese.
Top with the remaining slices of bread to close the sandwiches.
Butter the outsides of each sandwich. Place in a skillet over medium heat and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Slice and serve immediately with your favorite garnish or dipping sauce.

Substitute chorizo with spicy Italian sausage or plant-based chorizo for a vegetarian version.
Add sautéed onions or black beans for extra texture and flavor.
Use pepper jack cheese for a spicier melt.
Add a swipe of chipotle mayo or refried beans to the inside of the bread for even more depth.

Cook the chorizo ahead of time and drain excess grease for cleaner assembly.
Press the sandwich with a heavy pan or grill press for even browning.
Toast the bread lightly before assembling if you want an ultra-crispy exterior.
Let the sandwich rest for a minute before slicing—it helps keep the cheese from spilling out too soon.

The Southwest Chorizo Grilled Cheese is a bold, flavor-packed twist on a comfort food classic that delivers both heat and heartiness in every bite.
