Spanish Baked Eggs are an amazing, healthy and hearty breakfast or lunch option for those who like a little more substance to their meals!
What makes this dish so healthy is utilising the Home Made Chorizo recipe from The Healthy Mix II as an alternative to preservative and additive laden commercial chorizo. Feel free to add a little cayenne pepper for some spice!
