Description

Imagine starting your day with a vibrant and flavorful dish that's as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. Picture a perfectly fried egg, its golden yolk poised to spill out at the slightest touch, nestled within a colorful ring of sweet bell pepper. This simple yet elegant breakfast features the satisfying contrast of textures and tastes that will awaken your senses.

The richness of the egg, with its creamy yolk and delicately set whites, is beautifully complemented by the savory, spiced notes of chorizo. The bell pepper not only adds a touch of sweetness and a satisfying crispness but also acts as a natural frame, creating a visually appealing presentation. To prepare this delightful breakfast, start by slicing thick rings of fresh red bell pepper.

These rings serve as edible molds, keeping the eggs contained while they cook. Sauté the chorizo until it's browned and fragrant, releasing its flavorful oils into the pan. Then, gently crack the eggs into the pepper rings, allowing them to sizzle and cook to your desired doneness.

The bell pepper will soften slightly, its sweetness infusing the egg with a subtle, complementary flavor. The key to success is ensuring that the bell pepper rings are relatively flat, preventing the egg from escaping during cooking. A quick check on a flat surface will help.

As the eggs cook, keep a watchful eye and use a spatula to gently guide any stray egg white back into the pepper ring. This breakfast is not only delicious but also quick and easy to prepare, making it a perfect choice for busy mornings. The combination of textures – the tender egg, the slightly crisp pepper, and the savory chorizo – creates a truly satisfying culinary experience.

Feel free to adjust the cooking time to achieve your preferred level of yolk runniness. Whether you prefer a fully set yolk or one that oozes richness, this dish is sure to become a breakfast favorite.

    Egg

    4 large

Instructions

    1.
    Lightly coat a small pan in pan spray, and heat the pan on medium-high heat. Cook the chorizo sausage until it is cooked through and slightly crispy – about 5 minutes. Transfer the chorizo aside for later, but save the drippings in the pan.
    2.
    Slice 2 rings of red bell pepper per serving. They should be about ½-inch thick. Return the small pan to medium-low heat. Place the bell pepper rings in, making sure there is no space between the pan and the bell pepper (you don’t want any egg to run under the peppers).
    3.
    Crack a single egg into each bell pepper ring. Fry the eggs to your preferred doneness. Keep the heat on medium-low, and frequently check to make sure the eggs aren’t burning. Slow and steady wins the race!
    4.
    To serve the chorizo egg pepper rings, crumble the cooked chorizo over the fried eggs. You can chop some cilantro and serve that on top as well. A squeeze of lime juice would also taste good! Enjoy the meal hot.
