Spanish Eggs and Chorizo Bacon Stew

Breakfast deliciousness

Our good friend has introduced us to some beautiful Spanish flavours - chorizo, smoked Spanish paprika, jamón....I could go on but I might drool on the keyboard.

Taking a minute.

Back.

Anyway given that breakfast is one of our favourite meals, the Dragon and I got inspired and decided to look into Spanish breakfast ideas.  We stumbled onto Spanish baked eggs which isn't that far from Mexican Huevos Rancheros, but has a different flavour profile.  After researching a few recipes we came up with this meal idea.  You could make it on a Sunday morning when you have a bit of time to do something special, or you could make it the night before and allow the flavours to infuse....because trust me the extra infusion time is worth it. The basis for this recipe made enough to serve four.  So you can certainly bake it in a big dish with four eggs, but since there are two of us and we didn't know how well the eggs would reheat we saved the rest.  Since the next day was a Monday we decided to have the rest of the chorizo, bacon and tomato stew mix over brown rice for dinner and I can tell you...maybe it was because it was paired with a delicious red wine...but it tasted even better to us over rice. You could use this base a heap of different ways.

Disclaimer: we decided to include chorizo which means instant higher fat content.  If you chose you could leave this out and just use the bacon or just use less to still infuse the flavour but reduce the calories.  In fact I've tried that and it was different yet tasty.  But to begin...
