Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.
Cook chorizo in frying pan for 1 min each side or until they start to crisp. Remove from pan and set aside on paper towel.

Chop chorizo into small chunks then add it to the tomato mixture with the parsley.
Place tomato mixture into a baking dish and make a well in the middle.
Crack the egg into the well and place 4 to 5 olives around the egg.
Garnish with grated parmesan, fresh parsley and a little cayenne pepper for some
spice.
Cook in the oven for 12 minutes or until egg is cooked.
1 breakfast pan per person.
* You can easily make this dish vegetarian if you like. Instead of chorizo, just add 3 or 4 oyster mushrooms.
