Bocadillo de huevos fritos

This simple Spanish sandwich is an egg-based bocadillo sandwich variety that’s made with Spanish bread and fried eggs. A crusty bread roll or barra de pan (Spanish-style baguette) is cut along the middle and filled with eggs that have been fried in olive oil and seasoned with salt.

Other common additions to the sandwich’s filling include slices of cheese, ham, turkey breasts, lettuce or arugula leaves, and tomato slices. The cut side of the bread is often rubbed with ripe tomato halves for added flavor and juiciness, and the sandwich is usually enjoyed as a snack, accompanied by a refreshing cold drink on the side.
