132/18: Spanish Baked Eggs

132/18 – Spanish Baked Eggs:

I have been cooking a few more breakfasts lately, usually as a way to start the weekend on a plus! This time it was Spanish baked eggs.

The recipe is from Grill, Smoke, BBQ by Ben Tish

I have cooked quite a few dishes from this book, such a great variety in there – click the picture to see all the cooks:

Ben TishThe Prep:

The Thuros T1 was fired up with Oxford Charcoal Oak lumpwood. Lit in 3 places with flamers underneath:

The Pepper and chorizo went in next.

After a few minutes the tomatoes were added. I had missed the part in the recipe that said move the pan to the indirect heat zone at this point to simmer the sauce. Bit of an issue!

I decided to power on with direct heat and keep stirring. I rushed it a bit and the sauce didn’t reduce enough by the time I added the spinach.

I created some small wells and added the eggs then popped the lid on the grill to steam them a bit.

SUMMARY:

This was such a tasty dish and a great breakfast. I made a bit of an error not having an indirect heat zone to simmer the sauce down so when I make it again I would use a bigger grill to achieve that or I would just cook it in the house. The eggs were nice, due to the amount of sauce they were like a mixed poached/fried egg! Nice runny yolk though.

Overall a cracking dish, will do it again to do it as it should be but a great breakfast and pretty simple to cook.
