Heat fry pan, cook chorizo until browner, add cayenne until cook till fragrant.  Add tomato and half the potatoes, (keep other half warm) cook till tomatoe starts to soften then remove from heat.
Spoon mixture into pastry. Crack whole eggs over mixture season with salt and pepper bake for 15-20mins until just set.  Sprinkle with parsley.

Serve with left over potatoes and salad.


NOTE: Potatoes can be bought prepacked with butter and herbs at supermarked.  If you can get them, I just used potatoes microwaved with a little butter, garlic and mixed herbs.

I liked the flavour of this, but next time I'll take the skin off the sausage and use more like a mince, just break it up.  Plus Concrete_man asked for bacon and I might not leave the eggs whole I might mix up and pour over the top.
