Spanish migas with fried eggs

Every Mediterranean country has its own recipes for using up stale bread – and in Spain, migas reigns supreme. Try our simple migas recipe for an easy and delicious brunch.

  • Bold flavours: A pile of chunky breadcrumbs fried in plenty of oil with pieces of chorizo, pork, peppers and garlic studded throughout is, as you’d imagine, delicious, while fresh grapes offer pops of contrasting refreshing sweetness. It’s a great brunch dish.
  • Flexible recipe: The beauty of this dish is that it’s designed to use up whatever’s left in the fridge. Provided your base is breadcrumbs and you have a decent amount of fat in there to coat them in, you can throw in practically any veg you like.
  • Get the perfect texture: Migas cooks surprisingly well in a wok as you’re basically stir-frying bread. It’s important to keep it moving and to have a good non-stick pan to stop the bread burning before it’s crisped up. You’re aiming for bread that’s a mixture of crisp and chewy – which is why sprinkling it with water before it goes into the pan is important.
