Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 200 g chorizo sliced
  • 200 g diced cured ham jamón serrano
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup green peas fresh or frozen
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Optional garnish: small sprigs of parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Select a medium skillet and heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the diced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for another 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften, releasing their natural sweetness. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Incorporate the minced garlic and stir for about 1 minute, allowing it to release its aroma without browning. Add the smoked paprika and stir briefly to infuse the oil with its flavour.
  • Add the sliced chorizo and diced jamón serrano to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the chorizo releases its oils and both meats are lightly browned, enhancing the flavour base of the dish.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, thickening slightly.
  • Add the green peas to the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the peas are tender. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, keeping in mind that chorizo and jamón add saltiness.
  • Divide the mixture evenly into four small oven-safe baking dishes or cazuelas. Make a shallow well in the centre of each dish and crack an egg into each well, taking care not to break the yolk. Place the dishes on a baking sheet for easier handling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and a small sprig of fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with crusty bread on the side to soak up the sauce.
