Steps to Follow

Preparation:

1. Tartlet Base:
   • If using store-bought tartlets, arrange them on a baking tray.
   • For a personal touch, you can make your own shortcrust pastry tartlets.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • Finely chop the onion and garlic.
   • Dice the chorizo into small pieces.
   • Heat a bit of olive oil in a pan, then sauté the onion, garlic, and chorizo over medium heat for about 7 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

Assembly & Baking Options:

Option 1: Fried Egg Topping

1. Fill the tartlets with the chorizo and onion mixture.
2. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top.
3. Bake at 200°C (392°F) for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
4. While the tartlets bake, fry the quail eggs.
5. Once the cheese has melted, remove the tartlets from the oven and top each with a fried quail egg.

Option 2: Scrambled Egg Filling

1. Beat the quail eggs in a bowl and add a splash of milk and a pinch of salt.
2. Once the chorizo and onion mixture has softened, pour the eggs into the pan.
3. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the eggs are just set but still creamy.
4. Spoon the scrambled egg mixture into the tartlets and sprinkle with grated cheese.
5. Bake at 200°C (392°F) for 2-3 minutes to lightly melt the cheese.
