Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed with skins removed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 6 ounces Aurelia's Spanish Chorizo, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Crusty bread, sliced (French baguette recommended)

Directions:

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, flipping occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and discard.
  2. Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil. Crack one egg into a small bowl. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, tilt the skillet to pool the oil on one side. Carefully slide the egg into the oil. Spoon some hot oil over the top, cooking until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny, about 30 seconds. The edges should be browned and crispy. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer to a plate, and keep warm. Repeat for the remaining eggs.
  3. Pour the oil into a bowl and set aside (do not wipe out the skillet). Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the Spanish Chorizo slices and cook until they start to release their flavorful oils, about 30 seconds.
  4. Divide the Spanish Chorizo among four plates. Top each portion with a fried egg and garnish with fresh rosemary. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with some reserved oil for added richness.
  5. Serve immediately with slices of crusty bread to soak up the rich flavors.
