Comment with a heart emoji if you ate breakfast today.
Comment with a breakfast emoji if you are confident that yours is a “better breakfast”.
For me, a “better breakfast” ticks the following criteria:
- Madali [easy to prepare] – there’s a reason why a lot of us skip breakfast – we’re always in a hurry in the morning! So, a better breakfast should be easy to make, no hassle!
- Masarap [delicious] – what’s the point of eating breakfast if it doesn’t spark joy to our tastebuds, right?
- Masustansya [nutritious] – we need macro and micronutrients to fuel and strengthen every cell in our body. Eat breakfast like a winner!
One key ingredient that helps me have a better breakfast is incorporating dairy products. Dairy such as milk and cheese provide 13 essential nutrients. Dairy is also a great way to fuel the body.
I always gravitate towards Pinoy foods for breakfast. Good thing is that dairy products can easily fit into Pinoy meals, dishes and breakfast foods.
For example, I just had Extra Cheesy Bibingka and milk for breakfast. It’s easy to prepare, yummy and with enough energy-giving carbohydrates, body-building protein and flavor-giving fat.
Extra Cheesy Bibingka (makes 4 servings)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup California Sunshine Homogenized milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cup rice flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 pcs clean banana leaves (cut into round shapes enough to fit into the molds)
- Cubed (1 cm) California white cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese
- Grated California Milk White Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F or 200 °C.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the melted butter and sugar together. Pour milk and whisk until combined.
- Sift the rice flour, baking powder, and salt into the creamed ingredients. Whisk together until there are no more lumps. Add cubed cheese into the batter and mix.
- Pour the batter into the molds. Fill only up to ¾ of the mold.
- With a sheet pan underneath, put the molds into the oven.
- After 20 minutes, add grated cheese. Bake for 5 more minutes or until melted but not burned.
- Check doneness by piercing the middle of each bibingka with a cake tester or clean toothpick. If the cake tester comes out wet, bake for 2 more minutes. If it comes out clean, the bibingka is done.
Cheese is a delicious source of high-quality protein, calcium and other essential nutrients. Add it to your usual breakfast foods such as omelets, sandwiches, pancakes or waffles. Finish with a warm or cold milk and you’re definitely off to a better start.
Keep on winning!
