From MofC with a few changes. You will need eight ramekins to prepare this recipe. If you prefer bacon, turkey/beef bacon, leftover taco meat, veggie bacon or similar can replace the chorizo. The eggs were served with flour tortillas.

How To Make shirred eggs w/chorizo

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2
In a pan over medium heat, brown the chorizo and break up into small pieces. Cook completely. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. *Reserve* the drippings.
3
Reheat the pan and briefly cook the tomatoes and onion for about 1 minute but no longer than that. Remove from heat and set aside.
4
Butter the bottom and sides of each ramekin. Place 2 tablespoons of the crema Mexicana (or sub) in each dish. Add the cheese, 1/2 of the meat and all of the tomato/onion mixture in the ramekins.
5
Break an egg into each ramekin, season with black pepper and finish with the remaining meat and a sprinkle of cheese.
6
Bake approximately 15 minutes or until the eggs are set (depending on your desired doneness). I cooked the eggs a total of 14 minutes. {Reminder}-the eggs will continue to cook after you remove the ramekins from the oven.
7
Lightly garnish the eggs with Spanish smoked paprika, a small spoonful of crema Mexicana and a garnish of fresh cilantro.
