Number Of Ingredients 13

1 red pepper, sliced thin
1 large Spanish onion, sliced thin
1 cup chicken broth
1 pound ground chourico
1 pound ground linguica
1/2 cup vegetable juice (recommended: V8)
1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup cayenne pepper
8 eggs
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
10 ounces jalapeno cheese, shredded

Steps:

In a small pot, over high heat, combine the sliced peppers, onions, and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until crisp and tender, about 3 minutes.
Add the chourico, linguica, vegetable juice, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the pepper mixture. Mix well. This can be made 1 or 2 days ahead and refrigerated.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/4 cup water. In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the eggs and the spicy sausage mixture, along with the shredded cheese. Stir gently until the eggs are cooked and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Serve with toasted Portuguese English muffins.
