Spanish Eggs


I've peeled away some of the traditional aspects of Spanish Eggs, but it hasn't lost its insanely delicious flavour! By making it vegetarian and more diabetic-friendly, this Spanish Eggs recipe is lower in calories and carbohydrates than the more traditional recipe which includes chorizo sausage and potatoes. It also makes the process much quicker and easier with less elements to worry about! Serve it up on a nice chopping board with toast on the side and eat it straight from the pan; looks cool and saves you time on doing the dishes!

How to

  • Heat oven to 200°C fan bake

  • ​Heat a non-stick, medium-sized frying pan to a medium heat

  • Repeat for the other three eggs
  • Bake in the oven until the eggs are cooked (approximately 10 minutes)
  • Note: the eggs are cooked when the white parts don't jiggle after moving the pan around (or test with a fork)
