I first had Huevos Rancheros when visiting Las Vegas while staying in the
MGM Grand. We decided to have breakfast in the hotel and this just caught my eye. For years I have been trying to recreate that moment when I took my first mouthful and was blown away with the Mexican take on breakfast, that spicy warmth.
The second time I experienced this cooked really well was at the
Cambridge Cookery School Cafe. If you get a chance give them a visit, especially for brunch, they have some great dishes to try.
Huevos Rancheros is basically eggs on a bed of warm tomato salsa with fried chorizo. It doesn’t sound anywhere as good as it tastes. The fried chorizo has a great texture too.
I’ve tried to cook it loads but my best result came when I cooked it on the Big Green Egg in a cast iron pan. Try this recipe and I’m sure it will become a brunch staple.
