Grant’s Quiki

From Uranium Cafe, Grants, New Mexico—one of their specialties.

• Ready In: 34 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 6 -7  large eggs
• 3  tablespoons heavy cream
•  salt
•  fresh ground black pepper
• 1⁄4 lb  pasqual's chorizo sausage (or other bulk chorizo)
• 2  tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 (15 1/2ounce) can hominy, drained (preferably yellow hominy)

Directions

1. Break eggs into a bowl; add in cream, salt, and pepper.
2. Whisk just long enough to combine; set aside.
3. Add the chorizo to a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
4. Fry until well browned and cooked, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks.
5. Add enough butter to the drippings to make about 2 tablespoons of fat.
6. When the butter is melted, add in the hominy and heat through.
7. Scoop out about ½ cup of the hominy mixture and reserve; lower the heat to med-low.
8. Pour in the egg mixture; cook 3-4 minutes, frequently stirring up from the bottom with a spatula, until the eggs form soft curds and are lightly set but still look a little runny (do not overcook).
9. Remove from the heat and stir an additional time or two.
10. Top each portion with some of the reserved hominy; serve immediately.
