  1. Heat oil in a paella pan or large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and chorizo. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add rice, salt, paprika, and saffron. Cook, stirring frequently, until rice is lightly toasted, about 1 minute.

  2. Add broth, beans, sofrito, olives, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, shaking pan occasionally (do not stir) until rice is almost done but still toothsome, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves.

  3. Gently fold in peas, being careful not to disturb the bottom of the skillet. Make 4 indentations in the rice. Add one egg into each indentation. Simmer, covered, until whites are set and yolks are thickened, 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges (if using).
