Ingredients
- 200 grams Portuguese chouriço (chorizo)
- 4 large Eggs
- 4 pieces Portuguese bread rolls (Papo Secos or similar)
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Tomato slices
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Slice the Portuguese chouriço into thin rounds. Finely chop the garlic and parsley.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chouriço slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Crack the eggs into the skillet and sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side up or over-easy). Remove from heat.
Step 5
Slice the Portuguese bread rolls in half horizontally and lightly toast them.
Step 6
Assemble the sandwiches: On the bottom half of each roll, place a lettuce leaf, followed by 2 slices of tomato, crispy chouriço, a fried egg, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Step 7
Place the top half of the roll onto the sandwich and press gently to hold everything together.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Portuguese Brunchwich!
