Crack 6 eggs into a bowl and whisk them together.

Add 2 tbsp of chopped fresh parsley and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper; whisk until well mixed.

Pour in 1/4 cup of water and whisk again to incorporate it into the egg mixture.

Drain and rinse a can of white beans under water.

Finely chop 1 small onion, roughly chop 3 cloves of garlic, and chop 1 small red bell pepper.

Heat a non-stick frypan over medium heat and add 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.

After a couple of minutes, add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pan and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly sautéed.

Add the drained white beans, 1/2 tsp of sweet smoked Spanish paprika, 1/4 tsp of ground cumin, and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper; mix gently until well combined.

Pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan and cook without mixing for 30 seconds to 1 minute to allow texture to form.

After 30 seconds to 1 minute, start mixing everything together and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the eggs are just cooked through.

Remove the pan from heat and transfer the mixture to a serving dish.

Top with grated manchego cheese before serving.
