About Biscocho

Biscocho is a traditional Filipino snack made by twice-baking slices of bread, typically baguette or sliced loaf, to achieve a crunchy texture. It is commonly coated with butter, sugar, or margarine before baking, giving it a sweet and slightly savory flavor. Some variations may include toppings like cheese or condensed milk for added richness. Originating from Spanish influences during colonial times, biscocho has become a well-loved treat in the Philippines, often enjoyed with coffee or tea. While biscocho provides a quick energy boost due to its carbohydrate and sugar content, it is not considered a highly nutritious option. The added sugar and fat may contribute to excess calorie intake if consumed in large amounts. Moderation is key when enjoying this delightful snack that represents the fusion of Filipino and Spanish culinary traditions.
