Authentic Spanish Migas Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups stale bread, torn into pieces
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup chorizo, sliced
  • 1 cup bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Bread

    Soak the torn pieces of stale bread in water for a few minutes, then squeeze out excess water.

    Using stale bread helps achieve the right texture.
  2. Cook the Chorizo

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the sliced chorizo. Cook until browned.

    Chorizo adds rich flavor; you can also use other sausages.
  3. Add Garlic and Paprika

    Stir in minced garlic and paprika, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

    Don't let the garlic burn; it can become bitter.
  4. Combine Bread

    Add the soaked bread to the skillet, mixing well to coat with the oil and spices.

    Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Eggs

    Make a well in the mixture and pour in the beaten eggs. Stir until the eggs are fully cooked.

    Keep the heat moderate to avoid burning the mixture.
