20 minutes

Baked eggs with chorizo and brie cheese are a refined dish with a vibrant flavor, combining the tenderness of eggs, the spiciness of chorizo, and the creamy softness of brie cheese. While the recipe's roots can be traced to Italian cuisine, its combination of ingredients recalls Mediterranean traditions that value a balance of rich flavors and airy textures. When baked, brie cheese slowly melts, enveloping the egg in a creamy shell, while chorizo adds spicy depth. Perfect for breakfast or a light dinner, especially when paired with crispy baguette and greens. The simplicity of preparation makes it accessible even for kitchen novices, while its exquisite taste can impress guests at a dinner party.
