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.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup spanish chorizo, finely diced
3 red bell peppers or 2 cups red bell peppers, thinly sliced
2 serrano peppers or 2 tablespoons serrano peppers, minced
1 medium onions or 1 cup onion, thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves or 2 tablespoons garlic, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
14 1/2 ounces diced fire-roasted tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf, torn
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup ricotta cheese
6 large eggs
1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 loaf crusty bread, sliced

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.
