The next day, cut the garlic cloves in half, without peeling it, and fry them in a pan. When they turn a little gold-colored, put them away and bake the bacon. After that, Chop the chorizo into cubes, and also put them aside.
Now it’s time for the bread, which you are going to fry in the same oil, over low heat, using a slotted spoon to stir it constantly so that it does not burn. You have to do this for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, add the garlic cloves and continue mixing for half an hour. When the bread is loose and gold-colored, add the bacon and chorizo. Heat for another 5-10 minutes. Last step: serve and enjoy!

You have to do this on high heat for 3 minutes, then directly on low heat. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, then turn the heat off and let it rest.
Prepare the caramel: Do all the ingredients for the caramel in a pan. Heat over medium heat and when the sugar turns brown turn off the heat, and pour the caramel into a mold. Let it cool down for a while.
Meanwhile, you can separate the egg whites from the egg yolks and add the whole egg to the egg yolks and mix them. Now we are going to add little by little, while mixing, the yolks to the syrup that we made at the beginning. After this, pour everything in the mold.
Now we have to heat it in a bain-marie, you can do this in the oven at 120 degrees for 35 minutes.
