Bring water to a boil. Gently place the eggs in the steamer basket, lower heat to medium, and cover the pot. Let steam for 12-15 minutes. Carefully remove eggs from pot and place in an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel and slice the eggs into 1\/2&#8243; rounds.<\/li>\n<li>While eggs are cooling, slice the baguette on a bias and toast them, either under the broiler or on a skillet with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. For an added touch, place fresh herbs on the baking sheet or into the skillet for the bread to infuse the flavor. Toast until golden.<\/li>\n<li>Once toasted, spread a soft, neutral cheese like ricotta or queso fresco onto the bread. Add the chorizo slices or sausage of your choice. Top with sliced hardboiled eggs. Garnish with fresh oregano and a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. Serve warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suggestions for <\/span><b>chorizo wine pairing:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see from our <\/span><b>recipe for Chorizo and Eggs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tapas, your wine will be competing with plenty of spices.
