Eating And Storage Tips

This is a super simple put together meal but if you want to add something like sweetcorn or broccoli then you absolutely can as well or opt for a side salad.

If you want to add additional flavouring and seasoning, seen as this is pretty plain apart from the spice in the chorizo and the black pepper, you could go for something like some dried parsley as well.

Thanks to the egg in this recipe the cheese wont go cold and claggy in the same way, if you make extra and leave this for leftovers. Do remember that if you go to reheat this in the microwave, that even though it was gently cooked in the pan, there is a risk that it clumps up and doesn’t exactly become scrambled egg but it may not keep the smooth and silky texture it did originally.
