PORTUGUESE BAKED EGGS WITH CHORIZO AND RICOTTA



Portuguese Baked Eggs With Chorizo and Ricotta image

Entered for safe-keeping, from Jennifer Olvera for Serious Eats blog. More at http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/02/portuguese-baked-eggs-with-chorizo-and-ricotta-recipe.html. Buy your ricotta at an Italian deli if you can. The sauce is very spicy; if you want to tone it down, remove the seeds and white membrane from the serranos or use a single jalapeno (also with seeds removed). The sauce may be made up to 1 day in advance; store it in the refrigerator, but be sure to warm it before proceeding with the recipe. These are perfect for brunch or for a dinner with crusty bread and a crisp green salad in a acidic vinaigrette.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chorizo: A good chorizo will have a deep red color and a smoky, spicy flavor. Avoid chorizos that are too pale or have a lot of fat.
  • Cook the chorizo before adding it to the eggs: This will help to render out the fat and add flavor to the dish.
  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will have a richer flavor and a better texture than older eggs.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but still have a slightly runny yolk.
  • Serve the eggs immediately: Baked eggs are best served hot out of the oven.
