    🇪🇸 A typical Spanish dish

    ‍"Huevos a la Manchega" are a classic of Spanish cuisine. These are eggs cooked in a compote of tomatoes, peppers, onion and basil. I've added zucchini and, traditionally, chorizo, but as I don't like it, I've replaced it with white ham.

    Zoom in on these Spanish-style eggs.

    💙 Why you'll love these Spanish-style eggs

    • It's extremely easy to make: it's the easiest thing in the world!
    • It is absolutely delicious
    • It's ideal for a solo meal or a large gathering.

    🧄 Which garlic to choose?

    If you want to choose your garlic carefully so you do not encourage the slavery of Chinese prisoners, read my Eco Tips on the subject.

    🥚 Which eggs to buy?

    Ideally pasture-raised organic. You can refer to the Eco Tips I've written on eggs to help you choose the right ones.

    💡 Frequently Asked Questions :

    How to store these Spanish-style eggs?

    Cooked eggs don't keep well, as they harden quite quickly. If you want them runny, prepare the vegetables beforehand (up to 2-3 days earlier), and add the ham and eggs just before serving.

    Can this recipe be frozen?

    I wouldn't recommend it.

    When can tomatoes, peppers and zucchinis be eaten?

    Tomatoes: June to September included.
    Peppers: same
    Zucchini: May to October included.
    When it's not the right season, you can turn to frozen vegetables.

    If you make these Spanish eggs, it would be so nice to leave me a comment and rate the recipe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. You can also tag me on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook or Tik Tok, or even send me a photo, I love seeing my little dishes in your homes!
