Breakfast Chorizo Egg Polenta Pancakes

with Spinach and Spicy Tomato Sauce

Polenta is probably something you’d expect to eat at a sophisticated Italian restaurant. But for breakfast? Trust us, it works. Making it into cakes with a delightfully crispy outside is surprisingly uncomplicated: if you can cook in a pan, you can cook these. Their creaminess is the perfect counterpart to smoky chorizo, a gently spiced tomato sauce, and savory spinach.

Utensils

Large Pan

Instructions

Cook Chorizo
1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice chorizo into rounds. Add to a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook, tossing occasionally, until oil has rendered and rounds are crispy, 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside, keeping as much oil in pan as possible.

Prep
2

Wash and dry all produce. While chorizo cooks, halve, peel, and slice onion into thin slices. Slice polenta into ⅓-inch-thick rounds.

Fry Polenta
3

Add polenta in a single layer and cook until browned and crispy, 3-5 minutes per side. (TIP: Add a drizzle of oil if pan seems dry.) Transfer to a baking sheet. Place in oven to keep warm.

Start Sauce
4

Heat another drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1 tsp Tuscan heat spice (we sent more). Cook, tossing, until onion is softened, 3-5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and bring to a boil. Lower heat and reduce to a simmer. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and additional Tuscan heat spice (to taste—it’s spicy)

Wilt Spinach
5

Add spinach to pan and stir to combine. Continue simmering until spinach is wilted, 2-3 minutes. Set aside a few rounds of chorizo for garnish, then stir remaining rounds into pan. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until liquid is mostly evaporated, 2-3 minutes more.

Plate and Serve
6

Heat a drizzle of oil in another large pan over medium-high heat. Crack eggs into pan and cook sunny side up to desired doneness, 2-4 minutes. Divide polenta between plates. Top with sauce and spinach mixture. Place an egg on top of each, then garnish with reserved chorizo.
