Flamenco Eggs – Spanish inspired baked eggs with chorizo, peppers and peas – a one-pan egg dish that’s perfect for an easy brunch to feed a crowd.
Flamenco Eggs – The Perfect Brunch
I am not a morning person. In any way. Ask anyone I know and they will confirm it. I have fully accepted this late-rising lifestyle and happily try to avoid any kind of early morning commitments. The only problem is that I LOVE breakfast food. Eggs of all kinds, bacon, toast, coffee, pancakes, the list goes on.
Luckily for me, someone invented Brunch!
This recipe for Flamenco Eggs is a super easy brunch which is simple to make but full of flavour. It is great for entertaining too – perfect for lazy Sunday mimosas with friends.
Spanish Inspired Baked Eggs
These delicious Flamenco Eggs, or Huevos a la Famenca, are similar to the Middle Eastern Shakshuka but with some Spanish flair. Chorizo, peas and peppers are cooked with smoky paprika then smothered in a rich tomato sauce. The eggs are then cracked on top and cooked directly in the sauce – perfect for dipping!
Perfect Easy Brunch to Feed a Crowd
This is a great recipe for a lazy Sunday morning or entertaining friends as it requires minimal effort and only one pan. You can easily double up the recipe to feed a larger crowd.
How to Serve Flamenco Baked Eggs
I love to serve it with fresh crusty sourdough bread to mop up all that delicious sauce. Breakfast style potatoes are also a great choice.
If you want to make this dish more indulgent, then adding a generous sprinkle of feta or goat’s cheese on top when serving is a great idea!
I serve these Flamenco Eggs as a brunch recipe, but it also makes an excellent quick and easy dinner. Try serving it with some boiled potatoes or rice and a big bowl of salad.

Just like momma used to make! We often add chopped bacon with the onion and green beans when eating for dinner to give more oomph
Extra chopped bacon sounds so tasty!
