Eggs with Serrano Ham and Manchego Cheese, Green Olive Relish, and Migas

This sophisticated high-protein dish brings the bold, sun-drenched flavours of Spain to your kitchen. Featuring perfectly fried eggs topped with melted Manchego cheese and salty serrano ham, the recipe is balanced by a vibrant green olive and roasted pepper relish. The addition of migas—golden, garlic-scented bread cubes—provides a satisfying crunch that makes this meal feel truly indulgent yet fresh and wholesome.

Ideal for a celebratory weekend brunch or a light Mediterranean-style supper, this dish combines peppery rocket and frisée for a crisp salad base. The combination of textures, from the chewy toasted ciabatta to the silky egg yolks, ensures every bite is interesting. For the best results, use a high-quality Sherry vinegar to bring a bright, acidic lift to the dressing and relish.

  • 40g chopped pitted brine-cured green olives

  • 40g chopped drained roasted red pepper from jar

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 small garlic cloves, pressed

  • 4 3/4-inch-thick slices pain rustique or ciabatta, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 4 generous cups)

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon Sherry wine vinegar

  • 60ml finely chopped shallots

  • 4 cups (lightly packed) rocket leaves

  • 4 cups (lightly packed) torn baby frisée

  • Fleur de sel or coarse kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 4 large eggs

  • 110g very thinly sliced Manchego cheese*

  • 4 very thin slices Serrano ham or prosciutto

Combine all ingredients in small bowl. DO AHEAD: Relish can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.

Preheat oven to 191°C. Stir olive oil and garlic in large bowl. Add bread cubes and toss to coat well. Transfer bread to heavy large baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted yet still chewy, about 10 minutes. Cool.

Whisk olive oil, vinegar, and shallots in large bowl. Add rocket, frisée, and migas; toss well. Season lightly with fleur de sel. Divide salad among 4 plates.

Heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs; immediately cover top of each egg with cheese, dividing evenly. Cover and cook until egg whites are just set and cheese softens, about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer 1 egg to each plate; top with ham and season with pepper. Top each egg with relish, dividing evenly.
