Migas aragonesas
In this traditional Aragonese dish, dried bread is fried with bacon, topped with a fried egg and garnished with grated, preserved black truffle. If you are using very stale bread, sprinkle it with a little water and then set it aside for 10 minutes to soften. Take care to use just enough water to slightly moisten the bread but not turn it into mush.
