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
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare the bread by cutting it into small bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the migas with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 9
9. Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your delicious and comforting vegetarian traditional migas!
