Flamenco-style baked eggs

Not yet rated

This baked Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker® egg dish is inspired by Spanish 'huevos a la flamenca' or flamenco eggs, which consists of a rich tomato and red pepper sauce with eggs baked into it. Traditionally, whilst ingredients vary according to season and region, it is often made with chorizo or ham, potatoes, and a green vegetable like peas or asparagus. This version uses chorizo and shallots and is served with toasted crusty bread to dip into the runny, golden yolks.
