Spanishy Scrambled Eggs with Bell Peppers and Garlic Toast Recipe
- 8 ounces Italian or French bread, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium garlic clove, peeled
- 1 cup small-dice Spanish chorizo (about 4 ounces)
- 2 medium red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 medium yellow onion, halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 10 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk (not nonfat)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- Heat the oven to broil and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet, brush with 1 tablespoon of the oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Broil until browned and toasted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the sheet to a wire rack and rub the tops of the toasts lightly with the garlic clove.
- Set the toasts and garlic clove aside.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the oil and the chorizo in a large nonstick frying pan and place over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is starting to crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the peppers, onion, paprika, and reserved garlic clove.
- Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers and onions are very soft and beginning to brown, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, and remove and discard the garlic clove.
- Reserve the pan.
- Place the eggs, milk, and measured salt in a medium bowl, season with pepper, and whisk until the eggs are broken up; set aside.
- Place the reserved pan over medium-low heat, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, and swirl the pan until its evenly coated.
- Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed until the eggs just start to set around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, push the eggs from the edges into the center.
- Let them sit again for about 30 seconds, then repeat, pushing the eggs from the edges into the center every 30 seconds until just set, for a total cooking time of about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Divide the toasts among 6 plates.
- Divide the eggs over the toasts and top with the reserved pepper-chorizo mixture.
- Serve immediately.
