Allergens
Eggs, Sausages, Gluten (from sourdough bread)
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 Portuguese sausages (Chouriço or Linguica)
- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- 1/4 cup quince jam
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Place a kettle of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
- Bake the sausages in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Cut the sourdough bread into 1 inch thick slices and toast them to your preferred level of crispiness.
- While the sausages are baking, bring the water in the kettle to a rolling boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon and cook for 4 minutes and 30 seconds for soft boiled eggs.
- Remove the eggs from the boiling water with the slotted spoon and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, carefully peel off the shells.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Assemble your Portuguese breakfast: Place two slices of toast on individual plates, spread with quince jam, and top with a soft boiled egg. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Slice the sausages and place them next to the eggs. Drizzle the melted butter over the dish for added richness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful culinary experience!
