Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 100g piece chorizo sausage, skinned and roughly chopped
  • 100g thick-cut Serrano ham, roughly chopped
  • 1 red pepper, deseeded and diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 medium-hot green chillies, such as jalapeño, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp hot paprika
  • 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
  • 150ml fresh vegetable or chicken stock, hot
  • 8 medium eggs
  • 100g Cheddar, coarsely grated (optional)

Method: How to make paprika and chorizo baked eggs

1. Heat the oil in a large, deep non-stick saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the chorizo and ham and gently fry for 5 minutes. Lift onto a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the red pepper and onion to the oil left in the pan. Increase the heat and fry for 6-7 minutes, until soft but not brown.

2. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Add the garlic, chillies, cumin and paprika to the pan and fry for 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, Tabasco, oregano, hot stock and reserved chorizo and ham. Simmer for 12-15 minutes, until the sauce has reduced but is still sloppy. Season to taste and spoon into 4 x 12cm shallow ovenproof frying pans or dishes.

3. Break 2 eggs, spaced apart, into each dish and scatter over the cheese, if using. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the eggs are set to your liking. Serve with crusty French bread to mop up the juices.

Drink note

this could be tricky as egg dishes clash with heavier reds, but a light, smooth Pinot Noir will go down very well.

  1. I think it would be great if you could put a video how to cook it on each recipe. It's a lot easier to watch you cook it and copy you. I'm from Phoenix, Arizona
