Heat extra virgin olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat.

Add diced jamon iberico, serrano ham, salted pork, and thicker-cut garlic; sauté for a few seconds to get the juices flowing.

Add crunchy old bread to the pot, mixing it with the meats and garlic.

Pour in about 3.5 to 4 cups of broth (vegetable or beef stock) and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to a couple notches below medium and cover the pot; let it simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.

Carefully crack in 2 eggs into the soup, reducing heat to just above low; cook the eggs to your desired texture for 1 to 2 minutes.
