Ingredients
- 4 ounce Spanish chorizo (diced)
- 3 cup crusty bread (day-old, cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 4 eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cup fresh arugula
- 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
