Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Spanish Garlic Eggs
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Thinly slice the remaining garlic cloves and crack two eggs into small bowls for easy handling.
  4. Add half of the sliced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for 30-45 seconds until light golden, ensuring not to burn.
  5. Gently slide two eggs into the pan with sautéed garlic on top. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges are crispy.
  6. Splash hot oil over the egg whites to aid cooking and create a soft, runny yolk. Remove eggs once done.
  7. Repeat with remaining garlic and eggs. Cook and baste as before.
  8. 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.
