Baked Eggs with Chorizo & Peppers
Brought to the table in the pan, the eggs glossy-yolked among glowing red and yellow peppers, chorizo-stained sauce bubbling at the edges, with parsley scattered over and lemon wedges tucked alongside.
Ingredients
Serves 2- 3garlic cloves, minced
- 2red peppers, deseeded and sliced
- 1yellow pepper, deseeded and sliced
- 1 x 400gtin chopped tomatoes
- salt and black pepper
- 1large onion, sliced

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo rounds and cook for about 3 minutes, until they release their deep red oil and the edges are lightly crisp. Lift out with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Tip the onion and all the peppers into the chorizo oil and cook over medium heat for around 8 minutes, stirring now and then, until softened and starting to catch and caramelise at the edges.
- Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika and chilli flakes and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Return the chorizo to the pan.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and looks glossy.
- Make four wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each one. Season the eggs with a little salt and pepper.
- Transfer the pan to a 180°C fan oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until the whites are just set but the yolks are still runny when nudged.
