Warm and comforting, this Baked Eggs with Tomato & Chorizo recipe makes the perfect quick and easy lunch on a cold winters day
It’s the first of December and we’re officially in the countdown to Christmas. Hooray! While it’s tempting to break out the mulled wine and festive nibbles for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I’m going to try to reign it in and still eat relatively healthy for another couple of weeks at least!
Luckily I’ve discovered a new lunchtime recipe that’s deliciously warm and comforting on a cold day, yet filling enough to hopefully stop me from reaching into that tin of christmas choccies by the afternoon.
I am a bit of an egg fiend and can be quite particular about the way that they are cooked, but I was really chuffed with how this recipe turned out and can see myself making Baked Eggs a lot over the coming months.
I used chorizo in my recipe, giving the tomatoes a bit of a spanish kick but you can of course leave it out to make a vegetarian option or substitute the chorizo for bacon or another meat. You can also use some different herbs and spices, depending on your taste buds.
I served my Baked Eggs with raw carrots and celery dipped into the mixture but if you eat bread some crusty bread would work wonderfully too. They are best eaten hot straight from the oven as the egg will begin to change in texture slightly if they are left to go cold or reheated.
Enjoy!
So chuffed that I had all these ingredients in to make this for a late breakfast this morning as it was just what was needed when we are stuck indoors on a snowy day!

Thanks Vicki!
I love how chorizo transforms a meal. This dish looks lovely x #TastyTuesdays
Chorizo is amazing isn’t it. It can really lift an otherwise bland dish.
Oh yummy!! That sounds like the perfect lunch…or breakfast for that matter. I can’t wait to try it!
Yes it should definitely be on the menu for brunch too. It is eggs after all!
Mmm, this is one of my favourite comforting dishes, especially served with crusty bread and butter for dunking! Great snaps #tastytuesdays
Thank you Becky!
Oooh this sounds lush, I’ll be trying this out with bacon
It tastes great with bacon too!
Great recipe and even better photography, very impressive. I found you on #TastyTuesdays
Thank your Richard, that’s very kind!
Looks and sounds delish, simple food is always the best 🙂 #tastytuesdays
You are so right. Simple is always the best. I’m not one for long and complicated recipes!!
I’ve never had baked eggs before but these look gorgeous! xx
Thank you. You should definitely try them!
I’m a big chorizo fan – this sounds divine! #tastytuesday
Me too Rebecca!
Love baked eggs! Definitely making this delicious dish tonight for dinner – just need to get my hands on some chorizo so I can make it!

I really hope you like it Thalia. If you can’t find chorizo, smoked bacon works well too. But obviously you have to try it first!
I’ve only tried baked eggs once before and they were a disaster (overcooked yolk and uncooked white – no idea how I managed it). Yours look perfect so I’m going to try them your way. Fingers crossed I have more success this time!
Hope this recipe works out for you!
This is a great recipe! I work from home for a lot of the week so am always looking for quick and easy lunches – that taste good but won’t be a hassle to make. This is perfect and I will be trying this lunchtime!
Thanks Rach. Hope you enjoyed it! x
