    longanisa sausage, sliced tomatoes, fried eggs, and garlic rice known as Filipino Longsilog.

    Growing up, my Lola would make Spamsilog often. Not just for breakfast, but for lunch and dinner, too! I loved it so much and now make Spamsilog as a special breakfast for my own family from time to time.

    It wasn't until I was older that I came to realize that Spamsilog is just one of many silog breakfasts. This longganisa version is just as delicious, and a nice way to enjoy similar flavors in a different way.

    🍚 What is a silog meal?

    longanisa sausage, sliced tomatoes, fried eggs, and garlic rice known as Filipino Longsilog.

    Longsilog is one version of the silog meal, popular in the Philippines. Silog meals are heavy, satisfying, big meals. They are usually enjoyed for breakfast, but they are great for lunch and dinner, too.

    These traditional Filipino breakfasts that have a protein, fried egg, and garlic rice. In Filipino restaurants, you can find longsilog, tapsilog, spamsilog, and dasilog, and tosilog.

    The first part of the silog meal name changes depending on the protein you use. So tapsilog is made with beef, spamsilog is made with spam, dasilog is made with fried fried milkfish, and tosilog is made with a Filipino cured pork known as tocino.

    In the middle, is "si" which stands for "sinangag" - or Filipino garlic rice.

    The "itlog" portion of the name of this dish comes from the Filipino word for egg.

    🌟 Why this recipe works

    This longsilog recipe is:

    • Satisfying: a complete meal that's super satisfying. This is not a light dish! This is a heavy, hearty, big breakfast sure to satisfy big appetites.
    • Versatile: great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
    • Easy: easy to make and easy to customize according to your personal preference.
    • Feeds a crowd: great to make as a family meal or to feed a small group.

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    longanisa, eggs, and garlic rice to make longsilog filipino breakfast.

    You just need three ingredients to make these breakfast plates!

    Longganisa - Sometimes spelled longanisa and longaniza, this is a native sausage to the Philippines that you can find in most Asian supermarkets. It's sweet, salty, and full of flavor compare to other sausages.

    Sinangang - This is a Filipino garlic rice that's aromatic and usually fried. We love to make Instant Pot Garlic Rice, which uses less cooking oil and is a little healthier. You can use white rice or light brown rice if you prefer. Day old rice is often the best for making fried rice, but you can use freshly made rice as well.

    Eggs - Eggs are usually served fried and sunny side up with silog meals. But you can also scramble them, serve hard-boiled eggs, or poached eggs. It's up to you! But there's something so decadent about a slightly runny egg split open over the garlic rice and enjoyed with sweet sausage.

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    • Add oil to a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the longganisa sausages and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the longganisa is browned all around and fully cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
    • Break the eggs over the skillet and cook sunnyside up. Or, flip the eggs and cook until over easy, over medium, or over well -- whatever each person prefers. Transfer eggs to a plate.
    • Set out four plates and add a serving of Sinangag (Instant Pot Garlic Rice), one egg, and 2-3 longganisa sausages. Enjoy!

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    What is Longganisa?

    Also spelled Longanisa, Longaniza, or Longannisa, this is a sweet Filipino pork sausage. You can find it in Asian markets.

    How do you cook longanisa?

    You can cook longanisa in a nonstick pan on the stove, in the oven or air fryer, or even in the microwave. This recipe calls for cooking it on the stove, which results in an evenly-cooked, rich sausage with a nice

    What's the best way to store longsilog?

    Longsilog makes great leftovers to enjoy the next day! Allow the food to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three or four days.

    How do you reheat longsilog?

    Place the sausage, rice, and eggs in a nonstick skillet and reheat over medium heat until all of the components are heated through, stirring the rice and turning the sausage once in a while. You can also place the components on a microwave-safe plate, add a teaspoon of water over the rice, and microwave in 1-minute increments until heated through.

    🍽 Serving ideas

    Longislog is a complete meal on its own. But you can use our Instant Pot Garlic Rice recipe for the rice.

    And, Longsilog isn't just for breakfast! Enjoy this Filipino food for lunch or dinner and serve it with Lumpia, Pandesal, and/or some yummy Filipino Mac Salad.

    🍳 Kitchen tools and equipment

    You probably already have all the tools you need to make this recipe. No fancy kitchen gadgets needed!

    You'll need a large non-stick skillet to cook the sausage and eggs. If you are making the Sinangag (rice) from scratch and not using leftover fried rice, you'll need a large pot to cook the rice. Then use the non-stick skillet to fry the rice.
