There is leftover roscón and you are so eager to eat that thinking about making yourself a cup of hot chocolate, even though it is a wonderfully wonderful plan, makes you crazy. But there is leftover roscón and throwing it away is not an option because we are poor and throwing away food is sacrilege. That's why we love the idea of reusing leftover roscón to make something else. We could make a roscón pudding, but if you don't like cooking or don't want to make a dessert, the answer is much easier than it seems: make a roscón sandwich.
The roscón de Reyes is nothing more than a sweet bread in the style of a brioche but flavored with orange blossom water. That means that we can use it like a slightly sweeter brioche and make a sandwich with it, playing with the flavors. We will finish it in the air fryer. Yes, as you read it. We put it in for four minutes at maximum power so that it toasts lightly, but we can also grill it.

Two things to keep in mind: it has to be a roscón without filling, and we need to remove the candied fruit and sugar on top so that it is not too sweet. Also, to better balance the flavors and not make it all “bread”, cut it into three parts so that there are two fillings and three breads. This way you will compensate for the sweetness and it will be much more balanced.
As for combinations, an option that I personally really like is bologna mortadella with smoked cheese like scamorza, for example, or idiazabal cheese. We can also fill it like a Cuban sandwich, or put some roasted vegetables with a little hummus. It is also very good with a little sobrasada and tetilla cheese (heating it so that the cheese melts), and also cold with arugula, tomato and fresh mozarella.
For your first savory roscón, however, I recommend going for the classics. The traditional bikini is an ideal option (ham and cheese never fail), but we can also put turkey instead of ham. With just those two ingredients and a blast of air fryer, you have an easy dinner ready in two minutes with which to take advantage of every last bit of roscón.
