Breakfast is considered to be the most important meal of the day, and as students who love a lie in, I think our obsession with brunch is one that’s here to stay.

This recipe is: easy to make, cures even the worst hangover and involves minimal washing up. Making it a win on all fronts.

Bournemouth Echo:

You can make countless variations on this recipe depending on what you have in the fridge.

To serve two people I suggest:

  • Handful of cherry tomatoes
  • Handful of chopped peppers
  • Olive oil
  • 1 uncooked chorizo sausage
  • 2 large cloves of crushed garlic
  • 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
  • A pinch of salt, dried chilli flakes and smoked paprika
  • A dollop of honey
  • Small handful of chopped coriander
  • 2 eggs
  • Handful of feta cheese
  • Fresh crusty bread rolls

Bournemouth Echo:

The first step is to roughly chop your peppers and cherry tomatoes.

Bournemouth Echo:

You should use a thick-based frying pan, which you will later use for serving. Heat it on the hob at medium heat and add a dash of olive oil. Once it is fully heated you can add your sliced chorizo and crushed garlic cloves. Continue frying until the garlic has turned to a golden colour (but make sure you keep moving the chorizo around the pan to avoid burning).

Bournemouth Echo:

Once you’ve done this you can add your cherry tomatoes and peppers, followed by the can of chopped tomatoes.

Bournemouth Echo:

Next, add a generous pinch of salt, and then dust with smoked paprika, chilli flakes (the amount you add should depend on how spicy you like your food) and a large dollop of honey.

You can then turn the heat down a little and leave the pan to cook away for about 15 minutes, ensuring you continue to stir it every so often. After this you can add about half of your chopped coriander and give the whole pan a good stir.

Bournemouth Echo:

After mixing, crack the two eggs gently on top of the mixture, they’ll cook away nicely amongst the sauce. While this is going on you are able to put your bread rolls in the grill to toast them.

Bournemouth Echo:

Once everything has cooked, sprinkle the feta cheese and the rest of the coriander on top of your brunch. Make sure to serve everything on a wooden chopping board (so that the table doesn’t get burnt) and then all that is left is to finally tuck in and enjoy!
