- Remove pan from heat and allow cheese to set for about 30 seconds. Use a large heatproof spatula and tongs to carefully flip frico over and cook until the other side is golden, another two minutes. Slide frico out of the pan and onto a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining cheese and let stand while you prepare the eggs.

Steps:
- Directions Preheat the oven to 375°. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook over moderate heat until tender, about 25 minutes; drain and let cool.

PORTUGUESE BAKED EGGS WITH CHORIZO AND RICOTTA
Entered for safe-keeping, from Jennifer Olvera for Serious Eats blog. More at http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/02/portuguese-baked-eggs-with-chorizo-and-ricotta-recipe.html. Buy your ricotta at an Italian deli if you can. The sauce is very spicy; if you want to tone it down, remove the seeds and white membrane from the serranos or use a single jalapeno (also with seeds removed). The sauce may be made up to 1 day in advance; store it in the refrigerator, but be sure to warm it before proceeding with the recipe. These are perfect for brunch or for a dinner with crusty bread and a crisp green salad in a acidic vinaigrette.

Steps:
- 1. In a large skillet heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil or bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Move to side of pan and add broken-up bits of chorizo into the pan.

- 2. Crack the eggs one at a time into the pan. Break the yolks and stir the eggs into the sausage. Add a light sprinkling of salt. Stir constantly until the eggs begin to set, but are still moist. Remove from heat.
- 3. Serve immediately with a side of warmed corn tortillas and cilantro as a garnish, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right chorizo: Spanish chorizo is the traditional choice for this dish, but you can also use Mexican chorizo or another type of spicy sausage. If you're using a spicy chorizo, you may want to reduce the amount of chili powder in the recipe.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chorizo and eggs, be sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the eggs will steam instead of fry.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the chorizo and eggs before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder, depending on your preference.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Chorizo and eggs is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include hash browns, roasted potatoes, fruit salad, or toast.
Conclusion:
Chorizo and eggs is a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipe.
