Today I'm making Iberian-style broken eggs with potatoes, the kind of dish you just want to bring straight to the middle of the table and share. This recipe serves two and comes together in about 35 minutes: an easy go-to for lunch or dinner when you're craving something comforting and full of flavor.

I cook the potatoes in the air fryer or oven and pair them with griddled eggs. I like to keep the yolks nice and runny so that when you break them, they coat the potatoes and pork loin. I finish with a bit of crumbled feta cheese for contrast; with the deep flavor of good Iberian lomo, you really don't need much else.

If you enjoy dishes meant for sharing, I recommend my eggs with ham and sweet potato and my ham and cured pork loin tortipizza.

Ingredients

These are the ingredients for 2 people

2 medium potatoes
3 eggs
200g good-quality cured Iberian pork loin (lomo)
Feta cheese
Extra virgin olive oil
Spices (optional)

Step by step

Method

1Slice the potatoes into very thin rounds.
2Place them in a bowl and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.
3Cook in the air fryer or oven for about 20-25min at 180ºC.
4Meanwhile, cook the eggs on a griddle or non-stick pan.
5Cut the pork loin into bite-sized pieces.
6Assemble the plate: layer the potatoes, top with the eggs, lomo, and extra feta cheese (plus spices if you like).

Extras

1I don't add salt to the potatoes or the eggs, since both the cured pork loin and the feta are already naturally salty.
2You can make this version with sweet potatoes instead, in which case you will want to add a pinch of salt.
3You can easily swap the lomo for any other topping you like.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make the potatoes in the oven if I don't have an air fryer?

Yes, either method works great. Spread the potatoes tossed with olive oil in a single layer and make sure they are tender on the inside and nicely golden on the outside before assembling the dish.

Can the feta cheese be substituted?

Yes, you can swap it for a bit of crumbled goat cheese or skip the cheese altogether. The cured pork loin already provides plenty of flavor, so taste everything together before adding any extra salt.

Can huevos rotos with lomo be frozen?

I don't recommend freezing the assembled dish: the potatoes lose their texture and eggs never reheat well. To plan ahead, you can cook the potatoes in advance, store them in the fridge, and reheat them right before cooking the eggs fresh on the spot.
