Sausage and eggs are normally a breakfast dish in the UK. These two foods would be part of a larger meal we call a ‘fry-up’. Therefore I decided to use these ingredients in a dinner. I think this is usually associated with a Spanish meal. I’ve eaten similar dishes in a Spanish tapas bar. They have always been so tasty that I decided to recreate one at home. We loved this dinner and we hope you will too.

Baked Eggs, Chorizo and Potatoes is delicious dish that is fairly inexpensive. It is slightly time consuming to make but the efforts are worth the results. The leftovers can be eaten the next day but I wouldn’t freeze it. I think this meal is better cooked from fresh. It could be eaten as a breakfast, lunch or dinner. However you decide to eat this meal, as always, pleas enjoy. Thank you xxx
