Migas Spanish Style Recipes

SPANISH STYLE MIGAS WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Fry the eggs: In a separate large non-stick skillet over low heat, add the olive oil and heat for 1 minute. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cover the pan with a lid. Cook, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until all but a thin rim of egg white around each yolk is opaque. Remove the lid.

Steps:

• Grease a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook until chorizo begins to get crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Add torn tortillas and cook until crispy and golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add onion, jalapeno, and garlic; cook until vegetables start to get tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Pour in eggs and hot sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are close to your desired doneness, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes, avocado, lime juice, and Cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until eggs are scrambled to your desired doneness. Portion migas into serving bowls and top each with a dollop of sour cream.

MIGAS - SPANISH STYLE

Steps:

• Dice bread up small.
• Place bread in a large bowl and sprinkle with enough water to moisten bread.
• Sprinkle with salt and stir.
• Sprinkle with paprika and stir.
• Cover with damp cloth and leave to sit overnight.
• The next morning heat the olive oil in a deep skillet, over medium heat.
• Cut the garlic cloves in half and throw in the oil until lightly brown, then discard.
• Add the crumbled chorizo, ham and bacon, cook until almost done.
• Add the cubed bread with its seasoning.
• Toss the bread so that it thoroughly soaks up the oil and begins to crisp on the outside.
• The bread will turn red from the paprika, this is good.
• You want the bread to be crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. (This is the secret to good migas!).
• For Migas de Vendimia, add grapes to your migas:) This would be done in wine growing areas at harvest time.
