How to Make Eggland’s Best Longanisa Sandwiches

Prep the Longanisa

Cut the longanisa sausages in half. Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

Cook the Sausage and Garlic

Add the longanisa and garlic to the pan. Cook, turning the sausages until they’re nicely browned and slightly charred on both sides. Let the garlic cook until golden and crispy, but be careful not to burn it. Once done, transfer the sausages and garlic to a plate.

Bake the Eggs

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a sheet pan with oil. Crack the eggs directly onto the sheet pan or into a bowl before transferring to the pan. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your preferred level of doneness.

Season the Eggs

Once the eggs are done, sprinkle them with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Toast the Buns

Slice the buns in half and toast them lightly until golden and crisp.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Place a longanisa sausage half and a baked egg on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the other half of the bun to complete the sandwich.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of sausage instead of longanisa?

Yes, you can substitute longanisa with other types of sausages such as chorizo, breakfast sausage, or Italian sausage, depending on your flavor preference. Just make sure to cook the sausage thoroughly before assembling the sandwiches.

What type of buns work best for this recipe?

For the best results, you can use pandesal (Filipino bread rolls), Hawaiian sweet rolls, or small brioche buns. These buns have a slightly sweet flavor and soft texture that complement the savory longanisa and egg. However, feel free to use any soft, slightly sweet buns that you prefer!

Can I make this recipe vegetarian or plant-based?

Yes! You can replace the longanisa with plant-based sausages or other vegetarian alternatives. For example, BBQ pulled jackfruit, grilled veggies, or even a veggie sausage would be great substitutes for a plant-based version of the sandwich.

Can I add toppings to these sandwiches?

Yes! Feel free to add toppings like sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a slice of cheese to customize your sandwich to your liking.

Can I prepare this recipe without using oil?

You can try using a non-stick pan or a small amount of butter or olive oil to cook the longanisa and eggs. However, oil helps to achieve a nice golden color and crispiness, so it’s recommended for best results.
