- Right before boiling, use a spoon and swirl the water
- Drop the egg into the water (don’t freak, it’ll look a little crazy for a minute)
- Carefully spoon out poached egg and serve over stew
OMG. That looks amazing. I don’t always have breakfast, but it is nice to have a big batch of something that will last all week. Love this. Extra points for anything with bacon in it.
Can you pleaaase put a ‘pin it’ button?!?!??
I had one before, not sure what happened to it! I’ll try to figure that out!
Wait, what do you do with the bacon?
Hi Ginger! Add it to the stew with the sausage. Enjoy!
How long do you leave the egg in the water before spooning it out?
Juli, just gonna toss this out there, I heart you….
Anywho.. what kind of chorizo do you prefer? The stuff in the tubes is just nasty and the Boulder brand is pretty…gringo. But I take it you have found some good stuff someplace…. Inquiring minds must know!
Any particular brand of chorizo? Thanks!!
Made this this morning and it was faaaaantastic!
Ginger Manning: We, too, were not sure what to do with the crisp chopped bacon, so we sprinkled it on top of our bowls. That seemed like as good a thing to do with it as any. (Pssst…we garnished with diced avocado. Mmmmmm.)
Shayla: We found an Alton Brown video (youtube, like 3 minutes long) that was super helpful. Eggs came out perfectly.
(Also, equipment note: We ended up using a wide pan for sauteeing the onion & meat; the onion was BIG, and a pot would have ended up steaming the onions rather than getting all that good heat evenly applied.)
Anyway: Ms. Juli, it was terrific. Thanks for the recipe!
I really wish you would integrate springpad into this site.
No clue what that is
That looks… AWESOME. Oh wow, so yummy lookin’. I think I’m going to try this soon. How long would you think the stew would last in the fridge? I think I’d serve it with some kale chips, since I like crunchy with my stews, but that really looks like a gorgeous bowl of food. Yum!
Thank you for sharing!
Made this last night with pork sausage- reheats perfectly, and the fresh poached egg on top really makes it. Thanks for another great recipe!
Made this this morning for breakfast. Amazing! I used a milder sausage this time… next time… spicier! This might be my new “go to” winter breakfast.
