Want to level up this Pinoy favorite? Check out our four amped-up silog versions below!

Tocilog with Crunchy Funtastyk Young Pork Tocino

Ingredients

• 450g CDO Funtastyk Young Pork Tocino
• 1 medium-sized egg, beaten
• 1 to 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• oil, for frying
• 1/3 cup Danes Cheese block classic, grated
• 1 to 2 teaspoons butter
• salted egg, to serve
• tomatoes, to serve

Tocino is sweetened pork belly with a reddish hue. The original recipe takes a while to prepare; that’s why you can find quick-cook commercial versions like CDO Funtastyk Young Pork Tocino in the market.

You can also level up your usual tocino by coating the pork with panko breadcrumbs for that extra crunch! Better yet, switch up over-easy eggs with cheesy scrambled eggs for that perfect sweet & salty combo!

Hotsilog with Bibbo Hotdog & Danes Cheese Cubes

Ingredients

• 3 pieces Bibbo Hotdogs
• 1 medium-sized white egg
• 1 cup garlic fried rice
• 1 tsp mustard powder
• 1/4 tsp sweet paprika
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups Danes Cheese block classic, cut into thin slices
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 tsp salt
• 6 tbsp cooking oil

Red, juicy hotdogs are one of the most common breakfast staples in the Philippines. Why not take it up a notch and put cheese squares on the side? This yummy appetizer uses cheese, spices, and AP flour to make baked crisps.

Combine your wet & dry mixture until you can turn it out from the mixing bowl and flattened it into a thin sheet. Divide the dough into 1-inch squares, pop it in the oven, and voila!

Cornsilog with Highlands Corned Beef & Danes Cheesy Spinach Rolls

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp cooking oil
• 100 grams fresh spinach leaves, cut into small pieces
• 500 grams cream cheese
• 200 ml mayonnaise
• 165 grams Danes Cheese block classic, cut into thin slices
• 1 large pack spring roll wrapper

Canned goods are also one of the go-to breakfast viands for Pinoys when we’re in a hurry. But if you want to turn your cornsilog into a full-fledged treat, then fry a batch of cheesy spinach rolls!

This creamy veggie appetizer is prepared similarly to lumpia and makes a great combo with sauteed corned beef. Add a cup of steaming hot sinangag, and you’re all set for the day!

Tunasilog: Healthy Meal with a Twist

Ingredients

• Tuna flakes
