Folar is a traditional Portuguese bread served at Easter. The recipe varies from region to region and it may be sweet or savory. During Easter festivities, godchildren usually bring a bouquet of violets to the baptism godmother on Palm Sunday and this, on Easter Sunday, offers him a folar. Folar is sometimes served with a boiled egg, that symbolically represents rebirth and the Resurrection and in my case, I will have ONE egg, not three or else ... Two other remarkable variations on this theme are the folares of Chaves and Olhão .
