Bankside Cuisine | Chilli Eggs & Chorizo

If you like a bit of a kick to your food then this is going to be right up your street! If not, then don’t worry as you can remove or reduce the amount of chilli that you use and also not add the sauce at the end. It’s quite a filling dish so should feed two, and makes the perfect start to the day if you choose to have it for breakfast. Enjoy…

Serves: One-Two
Difficulty Rating: 4/10
You'll need: RidgeMonkey Connect Sandwish Toaster XL and Quad Stove (single head)

Ingredients:
• 50g diced chorizo
• 3 large eggs
• 1 fresh chilli, heat depending on your favourite type. Sliced
• ½ tin black beans
• Homemade croutons
• 50g diced strong cheese
• 1tbsp chopped parsley
• Frank’s Hot Sauce

Home prep:
• Grate the cheese and bag it up
• Drain the black beans and add to a ziploc bag
• Slice the chilli and store in a ziploc bag
• Chop the cheese and the parsley and then store similarly
• Dice some stale bread to make thick croutons by coating them in a small amount of oil, salt and pepper before baking until crisp. Allow to cool and store in a ziploc bag

Method:

1. The key to my cooking is having the ingredients prepped and stored, ready to use.

2. Into some hot oil, carefully add the chopped chorizo and begin to brown it off.

3. Once the chorizo is nicely browned, pour the black beans into the pan.

4. Combine both ingredients so that the black beans take on the oil’s chorizo flavour.

5. Next, carefully crack three eggs on to the top of the chorizo and black bean mixture.

6. Add the cubed cheese and croutons evenly across the top of the dish, like so.

7. Season the dish with salt and pepper, again evenly across the entire dish.

8. Do the same with the parsley, ensuring that it’s evenly spread over the dish.

9. Close the lid, reduce the heat and allow the cheese and the egg to cook through. 

10. Once it’s cooked, use a spatula to separate the edges of the finished dish.

11. Slide the completed dish, similarly to an omelette, on to your plate.

12. My final touch is to add some Frank’s Hot Sauce, but you don’t have to.
