SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHORIZO SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, until just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Scoop the chorizo out of the skillet with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate. Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel.
• Return the skillet to medium to medium-low heat and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring, about 3 minutes. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, about 2 to 4 minutes more depending on the desired firmness of the eggs. Serve immediately.

PORTUGUESE BAKED EGGS WITH CHORIZO AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• Adjust rack to lower-middle position. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• SAUCE.
• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add chorizo and cook, stirring, until fat is rendered, about 3 minutes.
• Add bell peppers and serrano peppers, onion, and garlic. Continue cooking, stirring often, until vegetables soften, 5-7 minutes.
• Add chili powder, paprika, thyme, and bay leaves and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add tomatoes and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes.
• Discard thyme and bay leaves. This can be covered and refrigerated up to 1 day in advance, but make sure sauce is warmed up before proceeding to EGGS AND CHEESE steps.
• EGGS AND CHEESE.
• Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and spread pepper sauce evenly in the dish, leaving 6 indentations to cradle the eggs.
• Evenly top divots with ricotta and crack an egg on top of each one.
• Sprinkle cheddar and Parmesan cheeses on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to preheated 375-degrees-F oven to cook until eggs are just barely set and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven and serve immediately with 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.

PORTUGUESE BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just beginning to brown, 10-12 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, basil, oregano, chili powder, and paprika to pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very soft and liquid is thickened, 20-30 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Discard jalapeño.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Transfer bell pepper mixture to a 13x9" baking dish. Using the back of a spoon, make 6 evenly spaced divots in mixture. Spoon a dollop of ricotta into each divot, then crack 1 egg into each. Top with cheddar and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Bake, rotating dish halfway through, until Parmesan is melted and egg whites are almost set but yolks are still runny, 15-18 minutes.
• Serve baked eggs with toast. (Yolks will continue to cook as dish sits, so serve right away if you prefer your eggs soft.)
• DO AHEAD: Bell pepper mixture can be cooked 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan. Add the onions and peppers, then cook for about 10 mins until soft. Push the peppers to the side of the pan and add the chorizo, sizzling until cooked though and releasing its oils. Transfer to a plate.
• Once cool enough, halve the potatoes. Heat 1 tbsp oil in another non-stick pan and tip in the spuds. Fry for about 10 mins until golden and beginning to crisp. Stir in the onion mix, heat through and season.
• Meanwhile, in the onion pan, fry the eggs to your liking. Place them on top of everything, allowing 1 egg per person.
