This one-pan wonder of swiss chard laced with smoky chorizo and topped with baged eggs makes a hearty breakfast of lunch - packed with goodness and flavour!
Ingredients
  • 4-6 cups of Swiss chard, leaves shredded and stems finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 large clove of garlic, crushed
  • 75g chorizo, sliced
  • olive oil
  • paprika
  • salt and pepper
  • 2-4 free-range eggs
Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a large, preferable non-stick frying pan. Add the chorizo and cook until the oil starts to release, then add the onions and garlic. Saute over medium heat until the onion starts to soften, then add the chard.
  2. Sautée while stirring continuously until the chard is soft enough to your taste. It cooks down quite a lot, like spinach, so cooking it too long might result in a very small portion! Check for seasoning and add paprika as well as salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Once the chard is cooked enough, make a small hollow for each egg that you plan to use and carefully crack an egg into each hollow. Make sure the hollow does not go all the way down to the pan - there should still be a layer of chard below the egg.
  4. Cover the pan and cook for a further 2 minutes or so, depending on how runny you want your yolk. Sprinkle the egg with a little more paprika and serve immediately.
