Huevos a La Flamenca

Submitted by breezermom

"In Spain eggs appear in many forms and at different times of the day. Huevos a la Flamenca is an egg cassoulet native to Andulasia, home of the flamenco dance. The eggs are baked atop a thick, spicy "sofrito" sauce. Posted for ZWT!"

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

I made this family style in a large skillet since there are only two of us. I did not expect DH to care for it since it called for a lot of tomatoes and he isn't always a fan. The more he ate, the more he liked and finished up by saying "you could make that again!" High praise from a man who is a self-professed mater-hater! Thanks for a great recipe!

Loved this recipe; I cut it down to serve 3, and left out the peas - I would have loved them in it but the others wouldn't have touches it. Served with home made biscuits, hot coffee and fresh juice. Makes a great company breakfast with such a wide variety of flavors. I'll be back later to post my photo. Made for ZWT-8 Pick a Pepper Challenge.

Awesome recipe. Easy to put together & really enjoyed the flavours. I increased the sausage & ham abit. I didn't have individual casseroles so I used a rectangular casserole dish. I made small impressions & broke 1 egg in each area. Tasty recipe, thanks for sharing.

This was enjoyed for lunch today. I made exactly as stated except no pimento. I wasn't to sure about the aspargus in this, but it turned out quite good. Paired with some berries on the side.

Made this for breakfast for 4 of us the other day & made a couple of minor (I thought) changes ~ I used 1/4 lb of the chorizo sausage AND 1/4 lb of a spicy Italian sausage, & then, added some of the smoked paprika that a friend of mine encouraged me to use! We all loved the combo of meats AS WELL AS the veggies in this dish, & all agree you deserve 5 stars for ONE GREAT DISH! [Tagged, made & reviewed while touring Spain with ZWT5]
