EGGS A LA PALOMA

Steps:

• To make the tomato sauce: Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Stir in the stock, bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the sauce is simmering. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is lightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Set the rack about 4 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler.
• Cook the chorizo in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside
• Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit and peel the halves. Cut each half lengthwise into 6 thin slices. Toss together in a medium bowl with the lime juice. Divide the chorizo among 6 oven-proof, individual serving casseroles, about 5 1/ 2-inches wide by 1-inch deep. Cover the chorizo in each casserole with 4 thin slices of avocado.
• To cook the eggs: Spray a frying pan or griddle with the vegetable cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add as many eggs as will fit without touching and cook until the underside of the eggs is set, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the whites are completely set, about 3 minutes. Place 2 eggs on top of the avocado in each casserole. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
• Divide the tomato sauce among the 6 casseroles, topping the eggs with a thin, even layer of sauce. Sprinkle the cheese over the sauce, dividing it evenly. Broil just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Top each casserole with a teaspoon of crema and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the cream. Pass the remaining crema separately.
• Cook's Notes: Crema Mexicana is a mildly acidic dairy product with a consistency that makes it perfect for drizzling over finished dishes. It is available in Latin markets and some supermarkets. If you cannot find it, substitute sour cream, thinned down with water.
• Oaxaca cheese is a mild string cheese from the state of Oaxaca in Mexico. It is available in Latin markets and some supermarkets. Whole milk mozzarella is the perfect substitute.

OEUFS A LA NEIGE (SNOW EGGS)

Steps:

• Put the milk and cream in a skillet and add six tablespoons of the sugar. Bring to the simmer, stirring, and let simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Add the vanilla and blend.
• Beat the egg whites until they are almost stiff. Sprinkle with six more tablespoons of sugar and the salt and continue beating until the mixture is quite stiff.
• Using two large spoons, mold the meringue into oval shapes and spoon the ovals on top of the simmering milk. Make a few at a time for a total of 10 or more. Cook about 30 to 40 seconds on one side and carefully turn to cook on the second side. Cook 30 to 40 seconds on the second side and remove the ovals. Drain on absorbent paper towels. Continue until all the meringue has been shaped into ovals and cooked.
• Strain the milk.
• Put the egg yolks in a saucepan. Beat the egg yolks until they are light and lemon- colored and pour in the strained milk. Put the saucepan on the heat and simmer, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard coats the spoon. When the spoon is coated, remove the custard immediately from the heat and strain it into a wide serving dish large enough to hold the meringue ovals in one layer.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining sugar with the water in a heavy saucepan. Cook until the sugar becomes caramel-colored and then dark amber in color. Take care not to burn it.
• Before the caramel sets, pour it in a thin thread on top of the oval meringues. Serve the meringues in round-bottom dessert dishes with the custard on the bottom of each.
