Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g). Source for sugars and saturated fat: Portuguese Food Composition Database (Base de Dados da Composição de Alimentos), Instituto Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge, I. P. — INSA, v 7.1 - 2026.

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Highlights Complete protein (egg) · Choline (egg) · Unsaturated fat (olive oil)

Onion bread

Sweet inside from the onion that cooks right in the dough.

Rico's note: Pack it in slices for the whole week; topped with fresh cheese (queijo fresco), it's the snack that gets you through back-to-back meetings. Whatever you don't eat within 3 days goes in the freezer.
