It’s a dish in all probability made in each family within the nation, with totally different variations between them. Actually, one will often name them with the final time period huevos rotos, damaged eggs, even supposing you can also make them with serrano ham, like I did, or with chorizo, with blood sausage, with Iberian bacon, with Iberian ham, even with foie!
Immediately I introduced you the extra conventional one, which incorporates serrano ham. The remainder of the elements are easy: recent eggs, potatoes, inexperienced pepper, extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt and black pepper. Straightforward sufficient to search out in your pantry and fridge, however there’s one trick: the elements must be of the very best quality, and you can not substitute the olive oil. For those who don’t have olive oil, I wouldn’t suggest making the dish.
