Here in Spain, we don’t just have one breakfast—we have two!

Recently I shared a bit about the first meal of the day here in Spain…now let’s talk about the second breakfast!

Every morning (usually around 10–11 a.m.), it’s not uncommon for Spaniards to take a break and head to a nearby cafe to have a quick mid-morning bite and a cup of coffee. If you’re visiting, do as the locals do and have two lighter meals in the morning. It’s a great way to get used to the famously late eating schedule here in Spain—you’ll need something to hold you over until that 2 p.m. lunch!

So what do Spanish people eat for second breakfast? This is prime tostada time—toasted bread with several varieties of toppings. My personal favorite is olive oil, crushed tomato, and Iberian ham, but butter and jam is another popular combo! Other popular second breakfast options include Spanish muffins (magdalenas), croissants, or a pincho de tortilla, and of course, don’t forget the coffee.

What’s your favorite Spanish breakfast food (for either first or second breakfast!)? Or what questions do you have about Spanish mealtimes? Let me know in the comments! 👇

If you’ve never thought about frying eggplants and drizzling them in honey or molasses, now is the time to do so 😍

Known as berenjenas fritas con miel in Spanish, this pleasantly surprising sweet-and-savory dish is a popular tapa in the south of Spain. This is such a great crowd pleaser for a summer tapas party, and so easy to make—just chop, soak, and fry the eggplant, and finish it off with a generous drizzle of honey or molasses!

Check out the recipe and be sure to tag me if you make it!
