This simple yet flavorful dish uses high-quality extra virgin olive oil and fresh parsley to elevate traditional fried eggs into an authentic Spanish tapa experience.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Parsley-Garlic Sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (8 grams)
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (30 ml)

For the Eggs

  • 4 cage-free organic eggs
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (60 ml)
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Dash black pepper

Instructions

  1. Make the Parsley-Garlic Sauce: In a mortar, add 2 cloves of roughly chopped garlic, a pinch of sea salt, and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Use a pestle to pound the mixture into a coarse paste. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and mix until combined. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Heat the Olive Oil: Place a small to medium frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of extra virgin olive oil and heat until hot but not smoking, preparing it for frying the garlic and eggs.
  3. Prepare Garlic & Eggs: While the oil heats, thinly slice the remaining 4 cloves of garlic. Crack the eggs into small bowls (two per bowl) to facilitate quick addition to the pan.
  4. Sauté Garlic & Fry First Eggs: Add half of the sliced garlic to the hot oil and stir for 30 to 45 seconds until the garlic begins to turn golden. Immediately add 2 eggs to the pan. Use a spoon to drizzle the sautéed garlic slices over the eggs. Let the eggs fry undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes until the bottoms are crisp and golden.
  5. Finish & Repeat: Spoon some of the hot olive oil over the egg whites to help them finish cooking evenly. Once set, carefully remove the eggs and garlic from the pan, letting excess oil drip off. Repeat the process with the remaining garlic and eggs.
  6. Serve: Arrange the fried eggs on serving plates. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper. Drizzle the parsley-garlic sauce over the eggs and serve immediately, enjoying the rich and aromatic flavors.

Notes

  • Use the best quality extra virgin olive oil available for an authentic Spanish flavor.
  • Fresh parsley is essential for brightening the parsley-garlic sauce; avoid using dried parsley.
  • Serve with crusty bread to soak up the rich sauce and garlicky oil for a complete experience.
  • Cook the eggs just until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny for optimal taste and texture.
  • If preparing for more people, double the parsley-garlic sauce and cook the eggs in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
