Classic Spanish Bocadillos
A Culinary Journey Through Spain
The Bocadillo de Tortilla
When it comes to classic bocadillos, the bocadillo de tortilla stands out as a beloved staple in Spain. This sandwich is crafted with a rustic baguette split in half and generously filled with a thick slice of tortilla, a delectable Spanish omelet made with potatoes and eggs. The tortilla is the epitome of simplicity, yet it bursts with flavor, making it an ideal filling for this satisfying sandwich.
To prepare a bocadillo de tortilla, start by cracking a few eggs into a large bowl. Season them with a pinch of salt and add a few cracks of black pepper. In a separate pan, heat some olive oil and pour in the egg mixture. Once the tortilla begins to set, add thinly sliced potatoes and continue cooking until both the potatoes and eggs are cooked through.
While the tortilla is cooking, prepare your bread. Slice a baguette in half and toast it lightly. Once the tortilla is ready, transfer it to a colander set over a bowl to drain any excess oil. Place the tortilla slice on one half of the toasted bread and top it with the other half. Your mouthwatering bocadillo de tortilla is ready to savor.
