Revuelto Campero Recipe: Hearty Spanish Eggs and Chorizo
This page may contain affiliate links.

Revuelto campero is a rustic Spanish scramble that brings together fried potatoes, soft peppers, smoky chorizo and savory ham, all folded into creamy eggs. It is the kind of dish that feels like a warm hug, simple enough for a weeknight yet satisfying enough to serve to guests.

Everything cooks in one pan, so the potatoes soak up the paprika-stained oil from the chorizo and the eggs stay wonderfully juicy. Serve it with toasted bread or tuck it into a crusty roll for a hearty sandwich that will brighten any day.

How to Make Revuelto Campero Step by Step

1. Cut the potatoes and vegetables

Start by peeling 2 potatoes and cutting them into bite-sized pieces, not too thick. Cut 1 spring onion into small squares and peel 2 garlic cloves, slicing them thinly. Next, wash and chop 1 Italian green pepper and half a red pepper, aiming for pieces similar in size to the onion.

2. Fry the potatoes

In a large skillet, heat plenty of olive oil and fry the potatoes for a few minutes until they are tender inside and crispy outside. Once fried, drain them and place on a plate lined with paper towels.

3. Sauté the garlic and onion

Using a couple of tablespoons of the oil left from frying the potatoes, sauté the onion and garlic until they are tender and slightly translucent.

Add the chopped peppers and cook these ingredients over medium heat for a few minutes, making sure the peppers soften without burning.

5. Cook the ham and chorizo

Remove the vegetables from the skillet and cook 75 g of ham cut into cubes and 1 chopped chorizo until the chorizo releases its fat and the ham browns and becomes crispy.

6. Combine with eggs and finish

Return the vegetables and potatoes to the skillet along with 4 eggs and place the skillet back over medium heat. Stir the eggs while mixing them with the other ingredients for a few minutes, until they set but are not dry, so they stay juicy.

Tips for the Best Revuelto Campero

Choose the right vegetables

For the vegetables, we have selected spring onion, which cooks quickly and brings a softer, sweeter flavor, along with garlic, which is essential for the aromatic touch it adds to scrambles. We also add two types of peppers: Italian green, which does not turn bitter when fried, and red, which adds a touch of color and flavor.

Pick quality meats

For the meat, we have chosen smoked chorizo and ham in cubes. One tip is to leave the ham unfried and add it at the end in slices to keep its fresh and delicate flavor. For this recipe, we recommend choosing a good ham so the result is impeccable.

Keep the eggs juicy

The revuelto campero is, without a doubt, an easy recipe to prepare, tasty and full of tradition. Served with toasted bread or, even better, in a sandwich, it is one of those simple pleasures that will brighten your day.

30 Go-To Recipes I Keep Coming Back to in My Own Kitchen

Universal Meals: Recipes

Like a lot of home cooks, I like having a rotation that covers cozy classics, dishes from around the world, and sweets that make everyone happy.

Some nights I want something luxuriously rich, and that's when I reach for this La Viña Molten Cheesecake recipe, this refined Original French Crème Brûlée recipe, or a truly indulgent Chocolate Mousse Cake recipe. And on days when I'm after something fruity and soothing, this timeless French Tarte Tatin recipe is my reliable pick.

For mornings that call for something easy and for lighter plates, I'll whip up these airy Oatmeal and Banana Pancakes recipe, a hearty Stuffed Sweet Potato recipe, or these bright Eggs Stuffed with Avocado and Salmon recipe. And whenever I need a gluten-free staple for the pantry, this straightforward Gluten-Free Rice Flour recipe does the job.

When tapas and Mediterranean cooking are calling, I tend to cycle through this punchy Basque Tuna with Tomato recipe, crispy Patatas Bravas Air Fryer recipe, silky Tirokafteri Greek Dip Sauce recipe, and a cool Burrata Salad with Tomato and Pesto recipe. This crisp Italian Vitello Tonnato recipe is another one I love to serve when the occasion feels a bit more special.

Hearty midday meals and comforting suppers? These are the ones I'm always recommending: this warming Meatballs in Spanish Sauce recipe, traditional Meatballs in Almond Sauce recipe, deeply savory Italian Bolognese Sauce recipe, and velvety Chicken Croquettes in Thermomix recipe. When I'm after something more substantial, I'll bake up this Greek Pastitsio Pie recipe, rustic Potatoes and Squid Stew recipe, or the deeply comforting French Boeuf Bourguignon recipe.

Street-food cravings and party spreads usually lead me to this juicy Homemade Chicken Doner Kebab recipe, crispy Salchipapas recipe, punchy Mexican Pork Carnitas recipe, or these crackly Korean Hobak Jeon recipe. These effortless Air Fryer Zucchini Rings recipe are another favorite of mine for a quick appetizer or snack.

And when I'm hosting and putting together drinks alongside a full menu, I'll often serve dinner with this refreshing Original Cuban Mojito recipe, this potent Long Island Iced Tea recipe, or a pitcher of this fruity Bleeding Spanish Sangria recipe. To bring the whole table together, I like setting out this zesty French Remoulade Sauce recipe on the side, or finishing things off with this eye-catching Mediterranean Black Rice with Squid recipe.

 

Even More Tasty Recipes to Cook for Your Family

After years of cooking, testing, and tweaking in my own kitchen, I've come to believe the greatest dishes boil down to three things: straightforward methods, techniques you can trust, and serious flavor.

Every recipe gathered here is one I genuinely cook over and over—whether it's a fast meal just for me or something a little more celebratory for friends and family.

On the sweet side, the rich, silky Orange Chocolate Mousse Recipe is a go-to when I want something that feels fancy yet comes together without fuss. Another dessert I adore is the caramelized Trdelnik Slavic Pastry Recipe, modeled on the well-known Central European chimney cake. If baking is your thing, knowing how to make syrup for better dessert texture helps a lot, and my Inverted Sugar Recipe walks through exactly how I do it at home.

When something light and uncomplicated is what I'm after, I'll usually make the classic Italian Caprese Salad Recipe or a flawlessly cooked Simple Poached Egg Recipe. For cozier, more filling meals, I frequently point people to the satisfying Meatball Sandwich Recipe, the creamy Russian Stroganoff Beef Recipe, and the fast weeknight winner One Pot Pasta Recipe.

I'm also a big fan of sharing dishes with roots in other countries, such as the authentic Sorropotún de Bonito Fish Stew Recipe, crispy Chilean Pumpkin Sopaipillas Recipe, and the traditional Spanish Cochifrito Segovian Fried Pig Recipe.

Air fryer cooking is another category I turn to often, since it cuts down on time without sacrificing texture. The ones I make most include Air Fryer Pork Ribs Recipe, Air Fryer Chicken Thighs Recipe, Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes Recipe, Air Fryer Baked Potatoes Recipe, Air Fryer Peppers Recipe, Air Fryer Mixed Sandwich Recipe, Air Fryer Toasted Bread Recipe, and Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs Recipe.

And for those steering clear of wheat, my cozy Gluten-Free Lasagna Recipe shows that a classic baked pasta can still be rich, cheesy, and deeply satisfying without any gluten.
