Cook 3 ounces of beef chorizo in a small pan until it breaks apart and is cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon of minced onion to the chorizo and continue cooking until softened.

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1/3 cup of whole milk.

In a separate bowl, mix 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg and milk mixture, mixing well.

Add the cooked chorizo and onion mixture to the bowl and combine.

Stir in 1 cup of pepper jack cheese, reserving 1/2 cup for topping.

Butter a shallow baking dish and pour the mixture into it.

Top with the reserved 1/2 cup of pepper jack cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
