What are Huevos Rotos (Broken Eggs)? Traditionally, huevos rotos consist of crispy fried potatoes and are topped with broken fried eggs and served with a variety of accompaniments, such as chorizo, jamón or vegetables. In our special version, we have decided to add our flagship product, Despaña Traditional Chorizo, to elevate the plate and make it even more irresistible. 

How do you eat Huevos Rotos con Chorizo? Eating them is always an experience in itself. Once the dish is served and plated beautifully, use your fork to gently break each yolk and then mix in all of that goodness into the potatoes and chorizo. The idea is to let the yolk coat the ingredients within – this creates a delicious medley of flavors and textures! The dish can be shared on one plate or divided into many – just make sure you dig in and enjoy the crunchy potatoes and the savory chorizo.
