Ingredients

6 large free range eggs
2 chorizo sausages or mixed beans (kidney and cannellini mix work best)
1 tbs each of ground cumin and coriander
2 tbs of dried oregano
1 tbs chilli flakes
¼ bunch of Italian parsley
1 red onion
2 roasted red capsicums
1 tbs olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2x 400g cans of diced tomatoes
1 tbs brown sugar
8 slices of sourdough
olive oil spray

Method

Roughly chop the chorizo and capsicum, dice the onion and finely chop the garlic. Finely chop the parsley stalks and roughly chop the leaves.

Place the chorizo, capsicum, onion, oregano, spices, chilli, parsley stalks, garlic and olive oil into a baking dish. ?( I prefer a little kick of spice in the morning! )

Place into the Combi-Steam and select Hot Air + Steaming. Set the temperature to 200 degrees and the time to 10 minutes (alternatively, place into a pan and use the stove top, sautéing for 10 mins on a med /high heat)

Remove and add the tomatoes and sugar and season very well with salt & pepper. Stir to combine. Return to the Combi-Steam for around 10 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and thickened.

Press down the center of the sauce with the back of a spoon making an indent. Carefully crack in the eggs. Spray the bread with a little olive oil and lay on a wire rack. Place the dish and bread into the Combi-Steam and cook for 8 minutes or until bread is toasted, egg whites are set and yolk is just a little wobbly. If using a standard oven, cook for 15mins in a hot oven at 200 degrees.
