Ingredients
- 6 oz day-old bread (Spanish-style or crusty white), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 oz chorizo sausage, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 oz cured ham (jamón or prosciutto), torn into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- 1
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers and slides quickly when you tilt the pan, about 90 seconds.
- 2
Add the bread cubes in a single layer across the bottom of the skillet and cook, stirring every 15 seconds, until golden brown and crispy all over, about 4 minutes total. They should look the color of warm honey.
- 3
Push the bread cubes to the sides of the skillet, creating a small empty space in the center.
- 4
Pour the chorizo rounds into the empty center and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is cooked through and has released its oil, about 3 minutes.
- 5
Add the torn ham pieces to the skillet and toss everything together—bread, chorizo, and ham—until evenly mixed, about 1 minute.
- 6
Sprinkle 0.25 teaspoon salt and 0.125 teaspoon pepper over the mixture and toss once more until evenly distributed.
- 7
Transfer the migas to a serving plate or bowl immediately while still hot and crispy.
