PORTUGUESE BAKED EGGS WITH CHORIZO AND RICOTTA
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.

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.
