Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 ounces diced Spanish chorizo and cook until crispy and it renders its fat, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chorizo with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the fat in the skillet.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet with the chorizo fat. Add 3 cups cubed crusty bread and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Remove bread and set aside.
  3. Add 1/2 finely diced yellow onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer, then return the bread cubes to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce.
  5. In a separate pan, or by clearing a space in the skillet, fry 4 large eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up recommended) using a little extra olive oil if needed. Season with salt and black pepper.
  6. In a medium bowl, toss 4 cups fresh arugula with 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.
  7. Serve the migas immediately, topped with crispy chorizo and a fried egg, alongside the dressed arugula salad.

Notes

For crispier migas, use truly day-old bread. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
