HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crispy and fragrant. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside.

02

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and fry for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny (or to your preferred doneness).

03

While the eggs are cooking, lightly toast the split bread pieces if desired.

04

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the pimentón to create a smoky aioli.

05

Spread the smoky aioli evenly on both halves of the toasted bread.

06

Layer the cooked chorizo onto the bottom half of each bread piece.

07

Carefully place one fried egg on top of the chorizo on each sandwich.

08

Cover with the top half of the bread and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chorizo while it cooks. You can also lightly toast the bread in the same skillet after cooking the chorizo for added flavor.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If Spanish chorizo is unavailable, you can use another type of cured, spicy sausage. For a vegetarian option, substitute the chorizo with grilled halloumi or roasted red peppers. Ciabatta rolls or even a sturdy sourdough can replace the baguette.

Storage & Reheating

This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh. If you must store components, keep the cooked chorizo and fried eggs separate in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat chorizo gently in a skillet and fry fresh eggs before assembling.
