Uova alla besciamella

Huevos a la béchamel is a popular tapas dish enjoyed throughout Spain. It consists of a whole or halved boiled egg that is coated with hefty amounts of thick béchamel sauce. The entire combination is then coated in breadcrumbs and egg wash before it is fried until crispy and golden. This filling dish is quite versatile, and béchamel can be enriched with melted cheese, herbs, spices, or diced Spanish jamon. Béchamel-coated eggs can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a snack, and they are often accompanied by mayonnaise or aïoli sauce.
