Piperade Recipe - Basquaise

Basquaise Piperade Recipe
This piperade is our version of the famous French/Basque recipe. It is also very simular to a Spanish dish called huevos rancheros (ranchers eggs) that uses chorizo instead of ham. It's a great thing to eat for breakfast after a night out on the tiles!! Very comforting and flavourfull. In the past we have made it as a starter, main course and snack....a very versatile and colourful menu addition.
You only have to look at the picture and your mouth will be watering.

  9. Cover the eggs with a good sprinkling of parmesan
  10. Place on an oven tray and put into a pre set oven at 200c/400f, middle shelf, for 10 - 12 minutes...until the egg white has turned white and the yolks are still soft. Serve immediately with crusty bread to dunk up all of the delicious sauce and juices.
