What Andalusian dish features eggs baked in a tomato and chorizo sauce?

What Andalusian dish features eggs baked in a tomato and chorizo sauce? The answer is huevos a la flamenca. This Andalusian egg dish is assembled in a baking dish, often with tomato, vegetables, peas or asparagus, and topped with eggs that cook in the oven. Chorizo and sometimes ham add the smoky, savoury character associated with many versions.

There is no single fixed recipe for huevos a la flamenca. Ingredients vary between households and restaurants, especially in Seville and other Andalusian cities. Some versions include fried potatoes, green beans, peppers or artichokes, while others use a tomato sofrito or a simple onion-based sauce. The eggs are generally baked until the whites set while the yolks remain soft.

The name means “flamenco-style eggs,” linking the dish to Andalusian cultural identity, although it is not a standardized flamenco-era recipe. It should not be confused with tortilla de patatas, which is a set potato omelette, or huevos rotos, in which fried eggs are broken over potatoes and other ingredients. Its defining idea is eggs cooked in a hot, richly garnished base.
