Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced or crumbled chorizo to the skillet.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo starts to render its fat and becomes slightly crispy.
- Add the chopped onions and red pepper to the skillet.
- Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 7-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally.
- Using a spoon, make two small wells in the tomato and chorizo mixture.
- Crack an egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolks.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes until the egg whites are fully set, but the yolks are still runny (cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks).
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the skillet.
- Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet with some crusty bread or tortillas on the side for dipping.
Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking and to make cleaning easier.
- If you prefer a milder dish, you can reduce or omit the red pepper.
- Make sure to cook the chorizo until it's browned and crispy to enhance its flavor.
- Allow the tomato sauce to simmer for a few minutes before adding the eggs to deepen its flavor.
- Use fresh, high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best taste.
- Garnish with extra fresh parsley for added color and freshness just before serving.
