Portuguese menus often feature the phrase a cavalo. If you do not know it, it can be puzzling, but the meaning is simple and delicious.
The egg on top
A cavalo means the dish comes with a fried egg on top, as if mounted on it.
It applies to steaks, pregos and burgers, among others.
Why it changes everything
When the yolk breaks, it creates a natural, creamy sauce that coats the meat.
It is a simple way to make a dish richer and more comforting.
Where to try it
At Pregaria there are a cavalo versions of both pregos and burgers.
If you like eggs, it is a choice that rarely disappoints.
