Description

This unconventional grilled egg dish offers a stunning presentation and incredible flavor profile. The egg, cooked gently in a ramekin or foil packet on the grill, achieves a tender white and a runny yolk that acts as a rich sauce. Paired with smoky, cured chorizo and sweet, caramelized red onions, it creates a balance of heat, sweetness, and savory depth. The cauliflower adds a hearty, nutritious base that soaks up the delicious juices. Perfect for summer barbecues or a unique brunch surprise, this dish is simple yet impressive, bringing a gourmet touch to your outdoor cooking repertoire.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  2. Place the cauliflower florets directly on the grill or in a grill basket. Grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred. Set aside.
  3. Arrange the thinly sliced chorizo and red onion slices on the grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is crisp and the onions are caramelized. Remove from grill.
  4. While the vegetables cook, crack the egg into a small, heat-proof ramekin or a foil packet seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Place the ramekin or foil packet on the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk remains runny.
  6. Serve the grilled cauliflower topped with the chorizo and onions, and place the grilled egg on top or alongside. Drizzle any egg yolk over the dish before serving.
