Ingredients
- 4garlic cloves
- 4tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, preferably Spanish
- 2large eggs
- 2thin slices, or approximately 1 ounce, jamon Ibérico de Bellota
- Sea salt, to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
Split open and peel garlic cloves by pressing down on them with the flat side of a kitchen knife. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer garlic to a plate and set aside.
- Step 2
Increase heat to medium-high and add 3 remaining tablespoons olive oil. Crack 1 egg into a glass. When oil just begins to smoke, tip pan to a steep angle so oil collects on one side, creating a small bath. Carefully slide egg into hot oil and spoon the hot oil over egg 2 or 3 times. The egg will be ready in about 30 seconds. Transfer egg to a serving plate with a slotted spoon and season to taste with salt. Keep warm. Repeat with remaining egg, reserving the cooking oil when done.
- Step 3
To serve, place a fried egg on each plate. Tear small pieces of jamon and lay over and around each egg. Garnish with garlic. Sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle reserved cooking oil over each plate.

Cooking Notes
This was a real treat! Used pasteurized eggs. First time using the olive oil technique so wasn't sure how the eggs would cook. Smashed garlic, cooked on low after starting at medium to golden crispy. Next time will try whole garlic cloves. Served on toast as pictured.
