Bring a little fiesta spirit to breakfast time with these glorious eggs flamenco.

This is a lovely way to serve up your eggs in the morning. Bright, feisty and delicious, it will fill you up right to lunchtime. Plus it counts as three of your five recommended portions of fruit and vegetables for the day. As it stands, the meal is suitable for vegetarians, but if you're serving up to meat lovers, you could add a few slices of chorizo sausage to liven it up even more. And while not everyone would be in the mood for spicy hotness at breakfast time, we love the extra kick you get from adding a pinch of dried chilli to the mix. In fact, you don't need to wait until breakfast at all - this dish works at any time of day. It's really cheap and the whole family will love it.
