Baked Eggs With Chorizo And Tomato Recipes

BAKED EGGS WITH CHORIZO AND TOMATO

Steps:

• ■Preheat oven to 200C. Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add olive oil and cook eggplant for a few minutes until softened. Add chorizo and continue to cook for a few minutes. Add tomato passata, sugar, harissa and red peppers. Bring to the boil, lower heat and allow sauce to gently simmer for about 10 min. ■Divide sauce equally between four individual oven-proof ramekins. Make a well in the sauce in each ramekin and crack eggs into these, sprinkle with olives and cover with foil. Place in oven and allow eggs to cook for 10-15 min or until whites are firm but yolks are still runny. ■Sprinkle with parsley, sea salt, freshly ground pepper and serve with lots of crusty bread.

BAKED EGGS WITH CHORIZO AND CREAM

Steps:

• Position the oven rack about 8 inches from the top and preheat to 325 degrees F. Spray the ramekins with nonstick spray.
• Place 2 to 3 tablespoons water and the spinach, butter and a pinch salt in a microwaveable bowl. Cover the bowl and microwave on high until the spinach softens, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently mix the butter into the spinach and spoon the spinach into the ramekins, leaving any excess water behind.
• Cook the chorizo in a small skillet over medium heat until it starts to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Spoon the chorizo into the ramekins. Create a well in the center of each ramekin.
• Break 1 egg into the well. Top the eggs with the cheese, and then the cream and sprinkle with salt. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake, about 8 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the oven and turn on the broiler.
• Once the broiler is hot, place the ramekins under the broiler, until the egg whites are done and the cheese is browned and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch the eggs very carefully to make sure they don't burn. Let the ramekins cool for 1 minute before serving with toast or baguette for dunking.

EGGS IN TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice off the top part of the tomatoes horizontally and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Reserve for another use. Season the tomatoes heavily with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain off excess oil. Add the chorizo to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes. Transfer the potatoes back to the pan with the chorizo. Keep cooking until the chorizo is crisp, about 3 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and drain off excess fat on a paper towel.
• Divide the chorizo mixture evenly between the scooped out tomatoes. Crack one egg onto each of the tomatoes. Place the tomatoes in a baking dish and bake for about 25 minutes or until the egg whites are fully cooked. Crumble queso fresco on top and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.
