Why this works

Hearty, energy-dense brunch dish with moderate protein, moderate fibre and a relatively high saturated fat and sodium content due to chorizo, cheese and added salt.

Vitamin A and potassium from sweet potato. Sweet potato provides beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) plus potassium, supporting eye health and normal muscle function.

Protein and B vitamins from eggs and chorizo. Eggs and chorizo contribute protein, vitamin B12 and other B vitamins, which support energy metabolism and tissue repair.

Higher saturated fat and sodium. Chorizo, cheese and added salt increase saturated fat and sodium, so this dish is best enjoyed occasionally if watching heart health or blood pressure.

Method

Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook the chorizo until its oils begin to release and it starts to crisp.
Add the diced sweet potato and cook, turning often, until tender and browned at the edges. If needed, add a splash of water and cover briefly to help soften it.
Season lightly, then create two wells in the hash and crack in the eggs. Fry until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
Scatter over the cheese, cover the pan for 1 minute to melt, then serve straight away while hot.
