Ingredients

  • 4 links chorizos, casing removed
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 30-oz can diced tomatoes
  • 24 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cup arugula
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. 
  • Place the chorizo links in a medium/large bowl, oven-proof, skillet over low heat. Cook until all sides of the chorizo are browned. Periodically deglaze the pan with water. 
  • Allow the chorizo to cool, remove it from the skillet, and then slice each link into 10 pieces. 
  • Sauté the onion in the leftover chorizo fat until tender for about 5 minutes. 
  • Add the can of tomatoes to the skillet. Arrange the cherry tomatoes and slices of chorizo around the edge of the skillet. 
  • Use a spoon to create four 2-inch wells in the tomato and egg mixture. 
  • Crack each egg into a ramekin and gently pour one egg into each well. 
  • Place the skillet in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the eggs are set. Top with fresh arugula and season with sea salt and black pepper.
