- Adjust oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat to 375°F (190°C).
- **Prepare the Spicy Chorizo Sauce:**
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 8 ounces of chorizo, crumbled, and cook, stirring frequently, until the fat is rendered and the chorizo is browned (about 3 minutes).
- Add 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped; 1-2 serrano peppers, minced (remove seeds for less heat); ½ medium onion, chopped; and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
- Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened (5-7 minutes).
- Stir in 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 2 bay leaves.
- Cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, and ½ cup fresh basil, chopped.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove and discard the thyme and bay leaves.
- (Optional: Cool completely and refrigerate the sauce for up to 1 day. Reheat gently before proceeding.)
- **Assemble and Bake:**
- Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spread the chorizo sauce evenly in the dish, creating 6 indentations for the eggs.
- Spoon 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese into each indentation.
- Crack one large egg into each indentation.
- Sprinkle generously with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
