Spam and Cheese Omelette with caramelized onions, garlic, herbs, and tomatoes

Serves 1-2

Ingredients:

1. 3 eggs (beaten) with a pinch of salt and pepper
2. chopped tomato
3. an onion (although if you're using an american size onion as opposed to Asian sizes, then just 1/3 will be good)
4. 3-4 cloves garlic finely chopped/grated
5. 4 slices spam cut into strips
6. grated or diced quickmelt or your favorite cheese, as long as it does not smell too strongly
7. dried herb mix like McCormick salt-free all purpose

Directions:

1. Saute onions and garlic over oil with spam until onions caramelize (they soften and become more translucent), and then set aside.
2. Mix chopped tomato, dried herb mix, 3/4 of sauted onions and garlic with the beaten eggs
3. Put pan to medium high heat and then spread out mixture on pan evenly
4. When eggs begin to cook/harden, put the cheese, remaining onions and garlic and spam on one half of the pan (see photo:)
5. Lower heat
6. When eggs have become opaque, fold it in half using a spatula (and maybe a fork/spoon too for extra support) to cover part with spam, cheese etc.
7. Wait for about 3 minutes and then lift omelette onto a plate.
8. Picture below shows what it looks like inside.
   

ENJOY! :D

"Brich": The ultimate breakfast sandwich

Inspired by a similar concept my friends and I tasted in Baguio, I decided to make my own, smaller version of it. I call it the "Brich" which is short for breakfast sandwich. It's basically a sandwich made up of my favorite breakfast foods.

For bread, I used pancakes (which I made just by following the instructions on the box) which I spread some butter on. In between the 2 pancakes, I just put some ham, salami, bacon, scrambled egg, lettuce, and cheese (just the plain square cheese slices available in supermarkets --I like Anchor brand the best). I spread butter on the top pancake and poured some maple/pancake syrup on the whole thing. I would've put cornflakes and maybe even some peanut butter or jam, but when I made it I was just going to eat it as a snunch, so I didn't want it to be waaay too rich. I mean, it's rich and heavy enough already.

The brich goes well with a glass of milk, water, or orange juice. Although I recommend water because I think the brich already seems fattening, and extra sugar won't be needed haha
