Traditional Spanish Breakfast Recipe
You will find this exact breakfast served all over Spanish coffee shops, tapas bars and hotels throughout the country. It´s fast, easy on the stomach and promises to give you the energy to tackle on the day in front of you.

Traditional Spanish Breakfast Recipe
To make this recipe I freshly squeezed the orange juice. Just like they do in Spain. Of course you can skip this step and use the store-bought stuff. But by freshly squeezing it, is what gives this breakfast that lift of goodness.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I used a baguette for the toast. You can use other types of bread. Just make sure it´s a firm bread. That way once you add the tomato mixture it does not get soggy.

    Pan con tomate was my absolute favorite meal or snack when I was in Spain! Sometimes it came with my vino order, especially in Madrid. I add a bit of sherry vinegar to mine! Its so dreamy and yummy 🤤!

    Hi Albert – excellent recipe. I came across this breakfast in Catalunya but didn’t realise it was so popular across Spain. What would I ask for? Pan tostado con ajo y tomate is a bit longwinded – what would a local order in say Andalucia?

    Frequently eat this type of breakfast but prefer my coffee black and strong with some sugar. As for the sandwich I use what in PR we call pan de agua, butter the bread after toasting, add tomatoes slices, top with chopped parsley or even cilantro. Yummm no cle it was typical Spanish breakfast

    This is one of my favorite foods from my Spanish travels. The Spanish tomatoes, toast, olive oil are to-die-for. I think maybe at peak of our tomato season might come closest to replication of the flavors of Spain but certainly not quite the same. So simple yet really such an incredible taste treat!
