Scrambled Eggs with Ham: How to Make Them

Broken eggs with ham are a simple yet charming dish. The combination of ingredients, especially the ham, makes it a delicious dish.

We'll show you how to prepare them, choosing the best Teruel ham, the star accompaniment.

What do we need?

  • 4 Eggs
  • 4 Medium Potatoes
  • Olive Oil
  • Teruel Ham
  • Salt
  • Pepper (optional)

Let's begin:

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices. Dry them and fry them in plenty of oil for about 15 minutes over low heat.
  2. After about 15 minutes, increase the heat to crisp them up. Then, wipe them with absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
  3. Next, make the fried eggs. Add a little oil to a frying pan and fry them for a few minutes, until they're cooked but the yolk remains slightly runny.
  4. Serve with a layer of potatoes, top with slices of ham (which we recommend frying for a few minutes beforehand to make it crispier), and then the fried eggs.

To enjoy this delicious dish, break the eggs with the ham and potatoes to savor the combined ingredients.

The secret of this dish lies above all in the ham. A quality ham considerably enhances the flavor.

That's why we recommend Teruel DOP ham, a ham with a balanced flavor, perfect curing, and smooth texture.

OTHER WAYS TO PREPARE THEM

We've already explained how to make the perfect huevos rotos (broken eggs) with ham, but the truth is that the combinations of huevos rotos (broken eggs) with other ingredients are almost endless.

If you want to go further and experiment with flavors, here are some ideas that are sure to be a hit.

  • Huevos rotos (broken eggs) with ham and black truffle from Teruel: an exquisite combination without a doubt. Simply add a few grated slices of fresh truffle or a drizzle of truffle oil.
  • Huevos rotos (broken eggs) with Aragon sausage: you can replace the ham with some sausage pieces or add both to add even more depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Huevos rotos (broken eggs) with foie gras and Teruel ham: a delicious gourmet flavor. Simply add a little foie gras on top of the fried eggs fresh from the pan and let it melt. The flavors of the foie gras and ham combine perfectly with the creaminess of the fried egg.
  • Scrambled eggs with piquillo peppers and ham: This will add a sweeter touch to the dish. To do this, lightly chop the piquillo peppers, sauté them for a few minutes, and add them just below the fried eggs on the plate.
  • Scrambled eggs with mushrooms: We offer a vegetarian option for this dish if you'd like to try it. The mushrooms toasted with butter in the pan perfectly complement the creaminess of the fried egg yolk.
