Why this works

High-protein but also energy-dense, with substantial saturated fat and salt from chorizo and cheese.

Protein-rich. Eggs, cheese and chorizo provide a useful amount of complete protein, supporting satiety and muscle maintenance.

High in saturated fat. Cheese and chorizo contribute a significant saturated fat load, which can be less favourable for heart health if eaten regularly.

Salt content to note. Chorizo and brown sauce are both sodium contributors, so this dish is likely relatively salty per serving.

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (Fan 160°C, 356°F, Gas Mark 4). Lightly grease a small muffin tin or two ramekins.
Remove the skins from the chorizo sausages and slice or crumble the meat into a small frying pan. Cook over a medium heat for 3–4 minutes until the chorizo releases its oils and starts to crisp.
Divide the cooked chorizo between the moulds, then scatter over the cheese.
Whisk the eggs with the milk and a little brown sauce if you want a savoury tang throughout. Season if desired, then pour the mixture into the moulds.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until the frittatas are just set and lightly golden.
Rest for 2 minutes before turning out or serving. Finish with a small spoonful of brown sauce on top or on the side.
