Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups stale crusty bread (like baguette or country loaf)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 pieces eggs
Instructions
1. Prepare the bread by cutting it into small bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove the toasted bread from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Lower the heat to medium-low and sauté the garlic cloves (minced) until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn them.
4. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
5. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.
6. Return the toasted bread to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined. Allow the bread to absorb the juices and flavors from the vegetables and seasonings.
7. Create four small wells in the bread and vegetable mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5–8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the migas with freshly chopped parsley.
9. Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your delicious and comforting vegetarian traditional migas!
