Arroz con huevo

Arroz con huevo is a popular lazy lunch in Latin America that consists of rice with a fried egg on top. This simple dish was once known as comida de pobre (poor people's food), but it is now enjoyed by people from all walks of life.

The dish has many variations; for example, in the Caribbean, it is frequently served with plantains, while Spaniards serve it with a savory sofrito. Arroz con huevo is best served with freshly grated cheese and finely chopped parsley on top.
