How to make easy and delicious broken eggs

Broken eggs or starry eggs are one of the signature dishes of Madrid bars. They are prepared very easily and there are usually many variants of this recipe.

What are broken eggs?

The exact definition of broken eggs is something like this: eggs fried in pan with abundant olive oil to which the yolk is left almost raw so that they break easily at the moment of serving and then wet the fried potatoes, which are the main accompaniment of this dish. p>

In addition to fried potatoes, the starry eggs (they are also called that), usually carry another companion that varies between sausage products, some fresh protein, or even vegetables and mushrooms.

Your version more classic is that of broken eggs with ham , followed by the incredibly delicious broken eggs with chorizo ​​.

There are also broken eggs with chistorra, eggs broken with gulas, broken eggs with mushrooms, and then there are mixtures that include several ingredients: broken eggs with mushrooms, chori Zo and peppers, and things like that. Is not it wonderful?

Let's talk a little about the main ingredients:

Potatoes

Usually for this dish traditional French fries are used, sticks, but you can also use potatoes cut into wedges, slices and there are those who use potato chips. Whatever your preference, they should be fresh and slightly crispy.

Eggs

If you know how to make fried eggs in a pan, you will not have problems with this recipe. Of course, you should leave the yolk quite liquid. You can season them with pepper and smoked paprika.

Ham, chorizo, mushrooms, etc.

• You can make traditional broken eggs with ham or chorizo, as I mentioned before. li>
• If you use ham, use slices freshly cut.
• If you go for chorizo, chistorra or another protein, fry them a bit in the same oil as the eggs.
• If you include mushrooms or peppers, quickly jump them just before serving the dish.
• Or you can be creative, mix ingredients, give it a personal touch. Do not limit yourself to what the recipes say, including this 😀

As you can see, the ingredients of the crashed eggs are all high in calories, so we are talking about a rather powerful dish, ideal for people who do a lot of physical activity, who are very hungry and do not care about anything or who are simply unconcerned with a privileged metabolism.

Preparing broken eggs is extremely simple. And the variations are only limited by your imagination.
