Instructions

  1. Crumble the stale bread into a bowl, dampen it with the water and a pinch of salt, then cover briefly so it softens slightly.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and fry the whole garlic cloves until golden.
  3. Add the diced bacon and fry for 5 minutes until crispy.
  4. Add the crumbled bread and the paprika, then stir constantly for 8 to 10 minutes, until you get golden, slightly crunchy crumbs.
  5. Add the raisins if using and serve right away, with the roasted peppers and a fried egg per person if you like.

Variations and tips

Migas with chorizo. Replace the bacon with thinly sliced sweet chorizo for a more robust flavor.
