Huevos Rancheros With Feta & Hot Honey
Huevos Rancheros With Feta & Hot Honey is the perfect quick brunch. Eggs baked with feta in a delicious tomato sauce with peppers and onions, garnished with fresh herbs and a fiery honey dressing. You can easily scale it up to serve more guests, adjust the spice levels, or throw in a bunch of extras to suit you.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 red onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 800 grams (3 cups) tinned chopped tomatoes (two cans)
- 200 grams (7 oz) feta cheese
- 60 grams (¼ cup) honey
- 2 chili peppers
- 10 grams (½ oz) coriander leaves/cilantro to garnish
- 10 grams (½ oz) basil leaves to garnish
- smoked salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200℃/400℉
- Finely slice the pepper and onion. Crush the garlic. Dice the chili.
- Heat oil in the skillet and then sweat the pepper and onion until translucent before adding the garlic. Season with smoked salt and cracked black pepper.
- Pour the canned tomatoes into the skillet, stir around to combine, and let them come to a simmering point, then turn the heat off.
- Make four small wells in the tomato sauce and crack the eggs into them. Crumble the feta over the top and place the skillet into the preheated oven.
- While the eggs are cooking, make the hot honey.
- Heat a small amount of oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then quickly fry the chili for 10-20 seconds. Pour in the honey and turn off the heat. Let it infuse.
- Once the eggs are cooked but the yolks are still runny, take the skillet out of the oven. Pour the hot honey and chili over the top and garnish with fresh herbs.
- Optional - add chorizo to the pan with the onions and peppers. The heat in the dish comes from the hot honey, but you can also add additional spice to the tomato base if you prefer.
Notes
It's essential that the oven is preheated before you put the pan in. You can also put the pan under the grill/broiler. If you don't have an oven-safe pan, use a lid to help cook the eggs on the stovetop.
I like to add avocado to the garnish as well for some creaminess that counteracts the acidity of the tomatoes and the spicy honey.
