Have I already mentioned that I lovehot cooked breakfast? Perhaps just a million times! I am a creature of habit,that’s why. I grew up on our island of Marinduquehaving cooked breakfast all the time. Everyday.It was the norm.

We had rice for breakfast every day – almost always accompanied by eggs and with somemeatcooked ina variety of ways(pork tocino, beef tapa, or perhaps evensome left-over fried chicken) and yes, even fish – whether smoked (Tinapa) or fried (Daing – first comes to mind)! Of course, I should not forget the Ma-ling(Chinese Spam) or the more expensive Spam!I won’t mind having them every day though I will probably gain a few pounds if I do so. 🙂

But that’s just the way it is, I assume,in most houses in the Philippines. Breakfast is almost like dinner in the sense that people still eat together whenever they can. Kidshave to be up early for school and parents need to prepare for work so it makes sense for everyone to eat together.

Well, at least it was like this in our house when we were growing up. There’s only one cook – whether it was my mom orahelper who makesbreakfastso it’s impractical to cook each breakfastdish on a piecemeal basis. If you want to eat a later breakfast,youmay,but it would be acold one.

We usually gather at a certain time and though we would leavesome food foranyone who wakes up later than usual, the food would have gone cold. My brother can attest to this!When we were young we didn’t have a microwave so nuking the food to reheat itwas not an option. Even nowadays, not many people in the Philippinesuse the microwave though already readily available.

Anyway, talking about hot breakfasts and eggs – here’s a very easy dish that you can prepare in minutes. Love this breakfast anytime!
