Microwave the potatoes until partially cooked! This is how:
- Place the thinly sliced potato in a microwave-safe dish.
- Add about tablespoon of water to create steam.
- Cover dish, leaving a small vent.
- Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, checking periodically.
- Remove and uncover to release steam.
- Potatoes should be partially cooked but firm. Add to pan with olive oil to finish cooking with chorizos and onions.
All my favourite things in one skillet, crispy potatoes, spicy chorizo and gooey baked cheesy eggs. No better way to start the day!

Instructions
Preheat oven to 230°C/210°C fan forced
- Heat the olive oil in the oven-safe pan (cast iron skillet or similar) on a medium-high heat until hot. Add the potatoes and season to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally for 10 to 12 minutes, or until crispy and tender.
- Add the chorizo and onion to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 - 5 minutes or until softened. Add the zucchini and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes or until just tender. Season then remove from heat. (Transfer vegetables to a baking dish if your pan is not oven safe)
- Use a spoon to create a well for each egg in the centre of the vegetables. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Season and top with the cheese. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. Remove from the oven.
