A delicious brunch as served in Basque Country, Spain |
PrintThe Basque CountryWhile travelling in the Basque Country, I spent a few days visiting beautiful Basque Country towns (both on the French and Spanish sides) like Saint-Jean de Luz, San Sebastian (See the article I posted a while ago, HERE), Bilbao and the Atlantic coastal plain. |
 |
 |
BilbaoOnce arrived in Bilbao, you can't miss the beautiful Guggenheim Museum of Contempary Arts |
 |
 | The Casco ViejoOne of the best culinary experiences in Bilbao lies in the old district called the "Casco Viejo", with lots of tapas bars and great local restaurants... |
 | ...not to mention it has fewer tourists than San Sebastian, which makes this old district even more interesting |
And here's the square in the old dictrict where I ate this dish |
 |
 | A Spanish dish so delicious.... and simple ! |
Ingredients
 | 1 Cup Riccota Cheese (250 grams)A few Eggs Sauce 1 Onion3 Bell Peppers3 ½ Cups Diced Tomatoes in Can (690 grams)2 teaspoons of Chile Powder2 teaspoons of Paprika1 teaspoon of Chile powder (or Espelette). Substitute with cayenne pepper1 tablespoon of Onion PowderToppings A small quantity of Parmesan CheeseA few slices of Spanish ChorizoA small quantity of Basil leaf |
Steps
 | The Cast Iron skilletThe skillet that this dish was served to me in Basque Country was pretty close to a Lodge Cast-iron Skillet, which I bought for the occasion |
Cooking the vegetables Start by cooking the diced Onion (1) until they start to caramelize, then add the dicedBell Peppers (3) with the spices :Chile Powder ,Paprika ,Chile powder (or Espelette) ,Onion Powder |
 |
Then add the Diced Tomatoes in Can (3 ½ Cups or 690 g) (can of diced tomatoes) |
 |
After 10/15 minutes , the vegetables are very soft, the liquid has thickened |
 |
 | Separate the vegetables in two halves and blend one half |
 | Pour this vegetable sauce in the skillet |
Then pour the 2nd half of vegetables that were not blended |
 |
 | Using the back of a spoon, dig a few holes (one per egg) into the vegetables |
Spoon Riccota Cheese (1 Cup or 250 g) into those holes and press (to create a hole that will contain the egg) |
 |
 | Crack one of A few Eggs into each hole |
Baking Bake the dish in pre-heated oven (360 °F / 180 °C) for 5/10 minutes |
 |
BakingWhen the egg whites start to set, top withParmesan Cheese and pre-cooked slices ofSpanish Chorizo (I precook them in a skillet). Do NOT replace Spanish Chorizo with mexican or another chorizo ! Taste is totally different. You will find Spanish Chorizo online, imported from Spain, on Amazon for instance |
 |
Here you go ! After 5/10 minutes of baking, the cheese has melted, take out of the oven and top withBasil leaf leaves |
