Spicy baked eggs


Since I've been posting sweet treats 3 in a row , I think it's time to throw in a savoury and wholesome dish

Okay , chorizo is not really wholesome , hopefully , those nearly a pound of fresh cherry tomatoes will balance it out lol

This hearty dish is made of fresh cherry tomatoes , spicy chorizo and eggs ....

Not only good for breakfast , this dish will fill you up anytime of the day .

Fast , easy to cook and very appetizing and goes really well with rice ....

That bread in the photo is just for photo opp ^__^ ''

I've been meaning to add a bowl of steamed rice as a background but I've forgotten to turn on the rice cooker hee hee !

After the photo-shoot ?

Well , I scarfed it down with  piping hot steamed rice , of course lol


Recipe adapted from Sausages

1/2 tsp saffron strands or powdered saffron ( don't have this ) 
250 ml hot chicken stock
2 tbsp olive oil
100 grams chorizo picante or loukanika , ( or other spicy chorizo ) skin removed and coarsely chopped
1 medium onion , finely chopped
2 garlic cloves , crushed
1 small red chilli ,deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 x 400 grams ( 14 oz ) tins plum tomatoes (  400grams fresh cherry tomatoes )
75 grams peas , fresh or frozen ( I used mixed frozen veggies ) 
2 spring onions , trimmed and finely chopped ( I used a handful of cilantro , snipped ) 
8 free-range eggs ( 2 eggs ) 
salt and freshly ground black pepper
crusty bread to serve

I made half of the recipe and use a 6-inch oven-proof saute pan 

* Preheat oven to 200°C .

* Place the saffron in the hot chicken stock and leave to infuse for 5 minutes . Meanwhile , heat 1 tbsp of the oil over medium heat in a frying pan ; add the chopped chorizo and fry for 1 minute until golden and the fat has been released . Transfer to a plate and set aside .

* Add onion , garlic and chilli to the pan and cook over medium heat until softened ; add the smoked paprika and wine vinegar and cook for 30 seconds more . Add the saffron-infused chicken stock and the tomatoes and their juice and bring to the boil .

* Reduce the heat to low and add the the peas and spring onions and return the fried chorizo to the pan . Simmer for 10 minutes .

* Divide the chorizo mixture between 4 10-cm ( 4-inch) oven-proof dishes . Crack 2 eggs on top of each , season with salt and pepper to taste ; then place in the preheated oven , for 5-6 minutes or until the eggs are set . Bake longer if you prefer your eggs more cooked .

* Drizzle over remaining oil and serve immediately with crusty bread or steamed rice .

  4. Hi Anne,

    As I was staring at your photo, I saw a happy face in your tomato eggy dish... Can you see it too? The eggs are the eyes. The cilantro is the green hair and the bright red chorizo tomato area is the mouth... I think I'm a little crazy LOL!
