For the Spanish recipe, piperade on a fried baguette, heat a frying pan, pour in 2 tbsp. vegetable oil. Finely chop the onion, add it to a frying pan with heated oil and fry over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Rinse the sweet pepper, remove the stalk, seeds and finely chop.

Lightly beat the eggs, salt, pepper and pour into the fried vegetables. Fry the omelet, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked. Warm, crispy baguette, grease with butter, put the prepared piperad on it, garnish with a sprig of basil and serve hot.
