Flamenco Eggs – an Easy Brunch recipe. Spanish inspired baked eggs with chorizo, peppers and peas – a one-pan egg dish that’s perfect for entertaining.
I am not a morning person. In any way. Ask anyone I know and they will confirm it. I have fully accepted this late-rising lifestyle and happily try to avoid any kind of early morning commitments. The only problem is that I LOVE breakfast food. Eggs of all kinds, bacon, toast, coffee, pancakes, the list goes on.
Luckily for me, someone invented Brunch!
This recipe for Flamenco Eggs is a super easy brunch which is simple to make but full of flavour. It makes a great meal for entertaining too – perfect for lazy Sunday mimosas with friends.
Spanish Inspired Flamenco Eggs
This take on baked eggs with a Spanish flair looks impressive but is super easy to come together. First, you make a rich tomato sauce with garlic, peppers and paprika, add some spicy chorizo and frozen peas then crack your eggs on top and leave it in the oven to cook while you pour yourself a sparkling mimosa.
Perfect Easy Brunch for a Crowd
This is a great recipe for a lazy Sunday morning or entertaining friends – it’s cooked in one pan for minimal washing up and can easily feed a crowd.
How to Serve Flamenco Baked Eggs
I love to serve it with fresh crusty bread to mop up all that delicious sauce. Breakfast style potatoes are also a great choice.
I serve this as a brunch recipe, but it would also make an excellent quick and easy dinner. Try serving it with some boiled potatoes or rice.
