Folar is a traditional Portuguese Easter bread which contains a hard-boiled egg in the middle. The eggs apparently stem from the Pagan festival Oestre (egg) where eggs were used to symbolize rebirth. Despite regional variations such as including lemon zest, almonds or cinnamon they all contain hard-boiled eggs held in place by a cross of bread dough. Perhaps this is also the origin of our Easter egg tradition. (5 years and 1569 days ago)
