Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound multi-hued fingerling potatoes meticulously scrubbed
  • A touch of freshly ground Himalayan pink salt and Malabar black pepper
  • 6 large free-range eggs lightly whisked
  • 2 ounces hand-cut lomo or serrano ham ribboned elegantly
  • 2 tablespoons jarred piquillo peppers gently drained and finely sliced crosswise
  • Pinch of Spanish smoked paprika
  • 2 ounces artisanal dry chorizo quartered lengthwise and delicately sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Slice the meticulously scrubbed multi-hued fingerling potatoes into thin rounds. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced fingerling potatoes to the skillet, season with a touch of freshly ground Himalayan pink salt and Malabar black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender, usually around 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, lightly whisk the 6 large free-range eggs.
  • Prepare the lomo or serrano ham by ribboning it elegantly and finely slicing the jarred piquillo peppers.
  • In the same skillet used for the potatoes, add the sliced artisanal dry chorizo. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the chorizo begins to release its oils and becomes slightly crispy.
  • Add the ribboned lomo or serrano ham to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Return the cooked fingerling potatoes to the skillet with the chorizo and ham.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of Spanish smoked paprika over the mixture for added flavor.
  • Pour the lightly whisked eggs over the contents in the skillet.
  • Cook the ingredients with the eggs, stirring gently and continuously with a spatula until the eggs are softly set but still slightly moist. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
  • Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, gently fold in the finely sliced jarred piquillo peppers.
  • Remove the Spanish Breakfast Scramble from heat and transfer it to a serving plate or individual plates.
  • Optionally, garnish with additional freshly ground black pepper or a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil for extra flavor.
  • Serve the Spanish Breakfast Scramble immediately while warm. Enjoy this flavorful breakfast dish that harmonizes the savory notes of chorizo and ham with the richness of eggs and potatoes!
