Why this works
A hearty, protein-rich dish with substantial saturated fat and very high sodium, so best enjoyed occasionally rather than as an everyday meal.
Protein from eggs and yoghurt. Provides a good amount of complete protein for satiety and muscle maintenance, with around 26g per serving.
Saturated fat and salt are high. Chorizo and added salt push up saturated fat and sodium considerably, which may be a concern for heart health and blood pressure.
Potassium and vitamin C from potatoes. Potatoes contribute some potassium and vitamin C, though the overall dish is still more energy-dense than fibre-rich.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (Fan 180°C, 392°F, Gas Mark 6) and bring a pan of salted water to the boil.
- Add the potatoes to the boiling salted water and cook for 8 minutes until just tender, then drain well.
- Heat a frying pan and cook the chorizo until it releases its oil and starts to crisp at the edges.
- Toss the drained potatoes with the chorizo and its oil, then season with black pepper and a little more salt if needed.
- Tip the chorizo and potatoes into a baking dish and make 2 small wells in the mixture.
- Crack the eggs into the wells and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft.
- Stir the yoghurt with a pinch of salt and spoon it over the baked eggs before serving.
- Finish with an extra grind of black pepper and serve hot.
