Ingredients
2 slices of rustic sourdough bread 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 4 oz Spanish chorizo sausage, thinly sliced 4 oz Manchego cheese, grated or thinly sliced 2 large eggs 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat a non stick pan over medium heat. Add the chorizo slices and cook until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes on each side. Set aside. Crack both eggs into the same pan with the chorizo grease, season with salt and pepper, and fry to your desired consistency. Meanwhile, brush the sourdough slices with olive oil and toast them until golden brown in a preheated oven or on a griddle. Spread the tomato halves onto one slice of bread and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle Manchego cheese over the other slice. Place the fried eggs on top of the manchego covered slice and add the chorizo on top. Assemble the platter by placing the tomato bread alongside the manchego, chorizo, and egg topped slice. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
