Baked Eggs with Chorizo & Gruyere

Last weekend we had a mini Christmas day at the flat. We watched the Muppet Christmas Carol, ate chocolate orange and exchanged our presents. To start the day I made us these delicious baked eggs, they're really simple and utterly delicious, perfect for a special brunch.

Serves 2 people for brunch, or 4 for breakfast
80g chorizo, skinned & cut into 1cm chunks
Half a red onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 eggs
50g Gruyere, grated
Plenty of seasoning & buttered toast to serve

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees and pop a baking sheet in to warm up
2. Dry fry the chorizo and onion over a medium heat, the sausage will release plenty of delicious oil so there's really no need to add any extra. You want the onion to soften and the chorizo to crisp up, this should take around 10-15 minutes. Add the garlic a few minutes before the onion is cooked
3. Separate the mixture into 4 ramekin dishes, crack an egg over the top and season. Top with the Gruyere then place the ramekins onto the pre-heated baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12 minutes for soft egg yolks and 15 minutes for hard
