Step-by-Step Instructions for Spanish Garlic Eggs
- Combine two chopped garlic cloves, a pinch of sea salt, and two tablespoons of chopped parsley in a mortar. Pound into a smooth paste and mix in two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.
- In a medium fry pan, pour in 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers, about 2-3 minutes.
- Thinly slice the remaining garlic cloves and crack two eggs into small bowls for easy handling.
- Add half of the sliced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for 30-45 seconds until light golden, ensuring not to burn.
- Gently slide two eggs into the pan with sautéed garlic on top. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges are crispy.
- Splash hot oil over the egg whites to aid cooking and create a soft, runny yolk. Remove eggs once done.
- Repeat with remaining garlic and eggs. Cook and baste as before.
- Serve the eggs seasoned with sea salt and black pepper, drizzled with garlic-parsley sauce.

Notes
Sauté garlic just until golden to prevent bitterness. Use fresh, quality ingredients for the best flavor. Avoid stirring eggs during cooking for perfect texture.
