Soft boiled eggs with crispy chorizo
1. Pan fry the thickly sliced chorizo for 3-4 minutes in a dash of olive oil. Remove from the heat and chop roughly.
2. Double toast the bread, taking care not to burn it (which makes it nice and crunchy and adds texture).
3. Bring a small pot of water to the boil. Once boiling add the room temperature egg. Rest it gently on the bottom of the pot with a large spoon to avoid cracking the shell. Cook for 6 minutes (this should give you a firm white with a soft yolk). Timing is important here so make sure you have a timer of some sorts. You may need to adjust the timing slightly for areas above sea level.
Plating Up:
Spread some cream cheese on the crunchy toast (once cooled) then sprinkle most of the chorizo on top. Do this just before your egg is ready to remove from the water.
Remove the egg and run it under a cold tap so that it's easier to handle. Tap gently all over with the flat side of a knife to break the shell. Peel entirely (take care not to break the egg) and place the peeled soft-boiled egg on top of the cream cheese and chorizo.
Add the remaining chorizo and garnish with some chopped chive.
Serve immediately with a dash of Worcestershire sauce, sweet chilli sauce, and salt and pepper to taste
