Treat your ingredients with care...
- Avocado — Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch. To slice the avocado easily, cut it in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
- Pickled onions — To pickle the onions, thinly slice them and soak them in a mixture of vinegar, sugar, and salt for at least 30 minutes. This will add a tangy and slightly sweet flavor to the onions.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the fried eggs.
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as ciabatta or baguette, to add variety to the sandwich.
- If you prefer your eggs fully cooked, fry them until the yolks are set.
- Customize the sandwich by adding your favorite toppings, such as sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon.
- Serve the Bocadillo de Huevos Fritos with a side of Spanish olives for an authentic touch.
