15 Jul eggs + chorizo

Posted at 09:09h in breakfast, lunch, recipes, supper by

Eggs are a comforting choice for supper. I always feel like it’s a little retro to crack an egg at teatime, evoking a ham, egg and chips scenario. This week, I’ve soft-boiled an egg and served it with crumbled chorizo on toast.  I try to use organic eggs when I can because I believe the birds are treated better and, to me, that makes their eggs taste richer.

Egg & Chorizo

406A8639

Serves 1 (easily doubled)

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

100g of chorizo (we like Gubbeen Smokehouse chorizo)

2 organic eggs

2 slices of crusty bread, to toast

Salt

Pepper

A few leaves of fresh basil

Method

  1. Remove the outer skin from the chorizo. Roughly chop or use your hand to crumble the chorizo into small pieces. Fry over a medium to high heat until cooked through and releasing oils.
  1. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Carefully place the egg in the water and boil for 6 minutes. Remove from the hot water and rinse under cold water to stop it from cooking further.
  1. Toast the slices of bread.
  1. Carefully peel the eggs. Remember, these are soft-boiled eggs so they need a bit of extra care.
  1. Divide the crumbled chorizo between the two slices of toast. Slice the eggs and place them on top of the chorizo. Top with a pinch of salt and pepper. Finish with a few torn leaves of fresh basil.
