This is a go-to recipe that I regularly use at Fit Fuel HQ, and it’s become one of my favorite quick and easy dishes. It’s not only delicious but also packed with protein, making it a fantastic choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In this recipe, we combine the rich flavors of chorizo, eggs, shallots, and mature cheddar to create a satisfying meal. Let’s break it down step by step.

Ingredients:

• 50g Chorizo – 11g protein
• 4 Large Eggs – 30g protein
• 1 Shallot
• 50g Mature Cheddar – 12.7g protein
• A bit of oil
• Salt and Pepper

Preparation:

Before you start, chop up the chorizo. I typically use chorizo rings, and I like to quarter sections of it, but you can adjust the size according to your preference. Slice the shallot as thinly as possible. Get your cheddar ready by cutting slices that you can break up when adding to the pan. I normally crack my eggs in a bowl or cup and give them a quick mix with a fork and give them a quick season with sale and pepper.

Instructions:

1. Chorizo: Heat a medium to high frying pan and add the chorizo. I like to give it a few minutes to start cooking, allowing it to become well-done and release its delicious oils.
2. Shallot: Add the thinly sliced shallot to the pan. The shallot will not only infuse its flavor but also absorb some of the fantastic chorizo oil, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
3. Eggs: Now, it’s time to add the star of the show – the eggs. Crack the four large eggs into the pan. Make sure to spread them out evenly. To control the heat, you can turn down the stove a bit at this point. Let the eggs cook until they start to set.
4. Cheddar: Once the eggs have begun to set, it’s time to add the mature cheddar. The heat of the eggs will melt the cheese, and as you fold it into the omelette, it will create a creamy and cheesy delight.

That’s it! Your quick and easy chorizo and cheese omelette is ready to enjoy. This dish is practically foolproof, making it a perfect option for anyone looking to dive into cooking. If you want to get creative, feel free to add in any other ingredients you like. You can customize this recipe with vegetables, herbs, or spices to suit your taste.

This protein-packed omelette is not only a great way to start your day but can also be a satisfying option for a late dinner. With more than 50 grams of protein in just 15 minutes of effort, you’re not only getting a delicious meal but also a healthy dose of nutrients. It’s a fantastic go-to recipe that will never let you down, and you’ll find yourself coming back to it time and time again for its simplicity and flavor. Enjoy!
