Ingredients
Scale
Eggs:
- 4 large eggs
Garlic:
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Olive Oil:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika (pimentón dulce)
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- Crusty bread for serving
Instructions
- Heat Olive Oil: Heat olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook Garlic: Add sliced garlic and cook until golden and fragrant, about 1–2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
