Best Recipe for Baked Eggs with Chorizo and Cream
Ingredients
- Nonstick spray, for coating the ramekins
- 3 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Salt
- 6 ounces fresh Mexican chorizo, chopped, or breakfast sausage
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded jack cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Toast or baguette, for serving
Instructions
- Special equipment: Four 6-ounce ramekins
- Position the oven rack about 8 inches from the top and preheat to 325 degrees F. Spray the ramekins with nonstick spray.
- Place 2 to 3 tablespoons water and the spinach, butter and a pinch salt in a microwaveable bowl. Cover the bowl and microwave on high until the spinach softens, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently mix the butter into the spinach and spoon the spinach into the ramekins, leaving any excess water behind.
- Cook the chorizo in a small skillet over medium heat until it starts to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Spoon the chorizo into the ramekins. Create a well in the center of each ramekin.
- Break 1 egg into the well. Top the eggs with the cheese, and then the cream and sprinkle with salt. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake, about 8 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the oven and turn on the broiler.
- Once the broiler is hot, place the ramekins under the broiler, until the egg whites are done and the cheese is browned and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch the eggs very carefully to make sure they don't burn. Let the ramekins cool for 1 minute before serving with toast or baguette for dunking.
