Method

How to make it

01
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
02
Add the chorizo slices and cook, turning occasionally, until they release their fat and are crisp and browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
03
In the same skillet, place the tomato halves cut side down and cook without moving until deeply charred, about 4 minutes.
04
Add the diced onion and garlic next to the tomatoes and reduce heat to medium. Sauté until onions turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
05
Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, then whisk until just combined.
06
Pour the eggs into the skillet, carefully stir with a spatula near the tomatoes and onions to create soft curds, cooking until eggs are creamy but set, about 3 minutes.
07
Return the chorizo to the skillet, stirring gently to combine all ingredients and warm through for 1 minute.
08
Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with toasted country bread.

Cooking tips

For deeper smoky flavor, try adding a small pinch of smoked sea salt when seasoning the eggs.
Use a cast-iron skillet for better heat retention and to achieve an even char on the tomatoes.
If you prefer a spicier finish, add a pinch of red chili flakes along with the paprika.
Prepare the toasted bread just before serving to keep it crisp and avoid sogginess.
