Spanish Beans & Eggs | The Ultimate One-Pan Skillet Recipe

This skillet of Spanish Beans & Eggs is seriously one of the best dishes ever. Loaded with so many great flavors & textures, super easy to make and done in under 30 minutes. The perfect dish for a busy weeknight or a relaxed weekend brunch.


This dish is known here in Spain as ¨Una Sarten de Alubias y Huevos¨. It´s typically served for either almuerzo (early lunch) or dinner. However, you can totally serve this skillet for breakfast as well.


What really gives this skillet that big punch of Spanish flavors is the Sweet Smoked Paprika. I always recommend using Spanish paprika over other paprikas. As it has a deeper depth of flavors versus other paprikas.


TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I like to crack my eggs into individual bowls before I add them into the skillet. This ensures that no shells go into your skillet, as well as making sure the egg yolks are not broken. After I add the eggs into the skillet I cover them for 2 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes. You want those eggs whites to fully cook through while making sure the yolks are still creamy.

Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
MY SWISS DIAMON FRYING PANS
EXTRA VIRGIN SPANISH OLIVE OIL
SWEET SMOKED SPANISH PAPRIKA
SPANISH SEA SALT
