Spanish Eggs

I first became aware of Spanish eggs from the show please like me (which happens to be hilarious).  Each episode is named after the dish that the main character makes in the opening credits.  It would make a great brunch or paired with a salad, dinner.  If you wanna make it a bit more substantial, you can replace the bacon with italian sausage or fresh chorizo.

1 medium onion, diced
4 strips of bacon
3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 pint cherry tomatos, cut into quarters
1 tsp of coriander seeds, freshly ground
1/2-1 tsp sriracha, based on your tastes
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
couple dashes worcestershire sauce
4 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil

1. preheat the oven to 350
2. fry up the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat.  Once the bacon is golden brown and crispy, remove and drain on paper towels.  either remove some of the bacon grease or add olive oil to make sure you have about 1 tablespoon of oil/fat in the skillet. once cool enough to handle, chop up the bacon.
3. Over medium add in the onion.  Cook for a few minutes until the onion starts to soften.  add in the garlic, tomatoes, coriander, and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook until the tomatoes are heated through and softened a bit, a couple more minutes.  add in the worcestershire sauce, sriracha, bacon, salt and pepper.
4.  Grease 4 ramekins with olive oil.  spoon about a 1/3 of a cup of the tomato mixture into each ramekin and then break an egg on top.  Drizzle each with olive oil and then pop in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the egg white is more or less set.
