Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F).

  2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large oven‑proof skillet over medium heat.

  3. Add the diced onion and sliced garlic; sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The onion turns translucent and the garlic smells fragrant. Stir often so the garlic does not brown too quickly.

  4. Stir in the canned tomatoes, smoked paprika, diced potatoes, cayenne pepper, diced chorizo, jamón ibérico slices, and green beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the potatoes begin to soften and the flavors meld.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The potatoes begin to soften and the sauce thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  6. Create four evenly spaced wells in the sauce and crack one egg into each well.

  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired doneness.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The whites are set while the yolks remain at your preferred doneness. Check the eggs near the end of baking.

  8. Remove from the oven, let rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot, spooning the tomato‑chorizo sauce over the eggs.
