Why this works
A very energy-dense, high-protein breakfast hash that is also high in saturated fat and sodium, so it suits occasional enjoyment rather than everyday meals.
High-quality protein. Eggs, chorizo and cheese provide a substantial protein load, supporting satiety and muscle maintenance.
Iron and B12. Chorizo and eggs contribute vitamin B12 and iron, both important for red blood cell formation and energy metabolism.
High saturated fat and sodium. Chorizo, cheese and added salt make this dish relatively high in saturated fat and salt, which is worth considering if managing heart health or blood pressure.
Method
- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the chorizo sausages until browned and the fat has rendered. Remove and slice into thick rounds.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until golden and tender. If needed, add a little oil from the chorizo or a splash of water to help them soften.
- Return the chorizo to the pan and stir through the potato hash so everything is well coated in the smoky oil.
- Make 2 small wells in the hash and crack in the eggs. Cover the pan and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
- Scatter the cheese over the top, cover again for 1 minute until melted, then serve immediately.
