    Egg & chorizo pastry cups

    Ingredients

    • 1 roll puff pastry
    • 12 thin chorizo slices
    • 13 eggs
    • 12 pinches cracked black pepper
    • 12 pinches sea salt

    Instructions

    1

    PREHEAT oven to 200ºC. Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tray with non-stick cooking spray.

    2

    ROLL pastry out on a lightly floured surface until about 1 cm thick. Use a 10 cm cookie cutter to cut out 12 circles. Lightly press the circles into each muffin hole.

    3

    WHISK 1 egg in a bowl and lightly brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg. Place pastry cups in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.

    4

    BAKE for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

    5

    CRACK 1 egg into each pastry cup and top with a slice of chorizo and cracked black pepper. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 7-10 minutes until the whites have set but the yolks are still slightly runny.

    Notes

    TIP: The pastry cases can be baked the day before and kept in an airtight container ready to be filled and cooked in the morning.
