WHAT ARE SPANISH STYLE EGGS?

They are a delicious take on sunny side up eggs!  Spanish style eggs are crispy, crunchy, ooey-gooey. That’s how Spaniards like their eggs. The secret is frying in a generous amount of good quality extra virgin olive oil,  After all, olive oil will be a signature flavor component of the dish.  A strong Picual mono-varietal oil will give your eggs a delicious kick of flavor almost akin to Tabasco.

SUGGESTIONS WHEN MAKING SPANISH STYLE EGGS

• Quick Cooking Tips

2. Crack your egg into a separate bowl and gently pour into the hot oil

WHAT PAIRS WELL WITH SPANISH STYLE EGGS?

For this breakfast dish, something to sop up the delicious oils and grease like bread works great!  Sourdough or a nice Rye can provide some good contrasting texture and flavor.  For tasty beverage pairing – try a Mimosa or a Bloody / Dirty Mary served in a martini glass.  If you want something non-alcholic, look to a glass of sparkling water, but don’t be afraid to smear a cut piece of lime or lemon on the inside of the glass before serving!
