Steps:

Add pepper, garlic, chopped onion, and 2 teaspoons salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire, scraping up browned bits. Add tomatoes; cook 3 minutes. Stir in rice, broth, and tomato juices. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender, about 17 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. When it is hot, sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Cook, shaking pan occasionally to assure an even distribution of cheese over the pan bottom, until the edges are lacy and toasted, about four minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and allow cheese to set for about 30 seconds. Use a large heatproof spatula and tongs to carefully flip frico over and cook until the other side is golden, another two minutes. Slide frico out of the pan and onto a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining cheese and let stand while you prepare the eggs.
- Cut chorizo into half-inch dice. Heat a nonstick skillet to medium-high heat and add chorizo. Once the fat from the chorizo has started to render, after about a minute, add onion and stir. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft and onion and chorizo have browned slightly. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.
- Whisk eggs to break up yolks and add to skillet. Add parsley to taste. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom often (this yields a soft, fluffy texture). Spoon scrambled onto plates and season to taste with pepper and salt (keep in mind that fricos are salty and chorizo is peppery). Break fricos into approximately 3-inch pieces and serve with eggs.

SPANISH MUSHROOMS AND EGGS
Mark Bittman says in his book, "The Best Recipes in the World," that this is a Spanish tapas recipe. It looks like a good *meal* to me! That are pretty garlicky. If they're going on toast/crostini, that might be fine, but if you're just eating them as scrambled eggs, like I did, it was a bit much. If you eat them that way too, please titrate the garlic to your garlic-luvin' level. :o)

Tips:
- Use the best quality eggs you can find. Fresh, free-range eggs will give your Spanish eggs the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the eggs. The key to perfect Spanish eggs is to cook them until they are just set, with a slightly runny yolk. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in Spanish cuisine, and it adds a delicious flavor to Spanish eggs. Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Season the eggs well. Salt and pepper are the essential seasonings for Spanish eggs, but you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, or cumin.
- Serve the eggs immediately. Spanish eggs are best served immediately after they are cooked, while they are still hot and runny.
Conclusion:
Spanish eggs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Spanish eggs every time. ¡Buen provecho!
