Ingredients

Extra-virgin olive oil

1 onion, diced

Kosher salt

2 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped

1 cup (1/2-inch) diced Spanish chorizo

1 teaspoon pimenton

1 (28-ounce) can plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped with their juice or passed through a food mill

8 eggs

1/2 cup finely grated aged manchego

2 tablespoons chopped chives

Directions

  1. Special Equipment: 4 (6-inch wide) flat ovenproof dishes such as terra cotta cazuelas
  2. Coat a saucepan with olive oil, add the onions and bring to a medium heat. Season the onions with salt and sweat for 7 to 8 minutes or until the onions are soft and very aromatic. Add the garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Add the chorizo and pimenton and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and season with salt. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if needed.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  4. Oil the cazuelas. Fill each dish about halfway with the tomato sauce. Break 2 eggs into each dish and sprinkle with grated cheese. Place the cazuelas into the preheated oven and bake until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes.
  5. When the eggs are done, sprinkle with chives and serve.
  6. Eggselent!

Been waiting to try this recipe for years. Purchased cazuelas online through Tienda to the exact specs in Ann's recipe, and all the ingredients at local specialty grocery store. Wife and I are lucky to live near an egg farm and have lots of fresh eggs handy. As stated below in one of the comments, the genius of Ann's recipe is that you can prep the sauce the night before so you don't have to spend 1.5 hours making breakfast. The only thing we did differently is that we separated skins from canned tomatoes then chopped them, giving a more chunky texture. There are so many different varieties of chorizo, I'm sure there are no two dishes that are quite alike, but the chorizo adds that wonderful salty, fatty element to the dish, whereas the pimenton adds pure smokey magic! For the American palate, imagine Lays BBQ potato chips, but way better and fresher tasting with eggs. Now that we have the recipe down, we are going to experiment with different sausages like Portuguese and Andouille (or any other smokey sausage). Also we will try grilled octopus or shrimp with this sauce if you wanted to make a dinner version with the sauce base which is versatile. Ann's directions are clear and easy. Aside for the pricey ingredients and specialty cookware, this dish is extremely easy to make.
