Spanish baked eggs breakfast

This Spanish baked eggs breakfast recipe is one that is baked with typical spanish essentials.

The ingredients include cherry tomatoes, olives, mozzarella or goat cheese, and pesto.

These are all ingredients that have been staples of Spanish cooking for centuries. But this recipe also contains two flavors that are more typical of modern Spanish cuisine: tomatoes and olives.

If you’ve ever visited Spain, you’ll know they love their tomatoes and they love their olives! Something about that Mediterannean diet that keeps them on track but never compromises flavor.

How to Prep the Ingredients & Bake the Eggs

To prepare the ingredients, you’ll need a cutting board, knife, oven safe dish, salt and pepper.

First you can wash your tomatoes. You can leave the tomatoes and olives as is, in its normal texture or if not, cut them into smaller chunks.

Here are 2 different ways to make your yolk for the spanish baked eggs breakfast.

For spanish eggs with a runny yolk:

Grease your oven tray appropriately so the eggs don’t stick. Add your filling into the dish and then break your eggs on top. Garnish with salt and pepper. Bake for 7-10 minutes. Check on the oven once its been 7 minutes.

Next, put a dollop of pesto on top. I like to make 2-3 small circles of the pesto on top. Bake for 3-5 minutes more.

For spanish baked eggs with no yolk:

Grab a bowl and mix your eggs and your filling all together. Grease oven dish and add your filling into the dish. Garnish with pepper and salt.

What to pair with a Spanish baked eggs breakfast

This flavorsome dish needs to be paired with bread!! Grab a baguette or some crispy rustic style sliced bread and enjoy!

I personally love this with herb butter toast. This is easy to make too just get butter and sprinkle your ideal herbs (fresh or dried) on top. Serve this with a side of orange juice or coffee.

In Spain they always freshly squeeze their orange juice here, so if you’re really trying to capture the ambience, then squeeze yours too. 🙂
