- 5 oz. tomato paste
- 4 large eggs
- 1 package chorizo, cooked and cut into rounds (optional)
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, for serving
- 1 loaf bread, for serving
Instructions
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat olive oil on medium over your stovetop.
- Add in onion, bell pepper, garlic and all spices, cooking for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft but not browned.
- Preheat your grill to high about now.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes with juice and tomato paste, cooking another 8-10 minutes until the sauce begins to reduce.
- If you’re using chorizo, stir it in now for a little extra kick!
- With a large spoon, make four wells equally spaced in the pan, for the eggs to rest in. Gently crack one egg into each well.
- Place the entire pan onto the grill grate, cover and cook for 6-10 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately with fresh, crusty bread.
