egg and cheese with butter toasted bread

it was a tiring day for us and we wanted to have something heavy for snacks. so i came up with something heavy for our merienda. a combination of "palaman" and bread preparation to come up with a snack with a distinct taste. this is my take on the classic egg sandwhich which i shall call: " egg and cheese with butter toasted bread" (ambigat pakinggan ano?!)

ingredients:
2 eggs
oil (i understand that not all uses cookin oil, others prefer olive oil, etc. any oil will do as long as its not baby oil, or engine oil)
grated cheese
salt *optional
bread (loaf bread, tasty, american bread....whatever you like to call them)
butter
sandwich spread or mayonaisse

directions:
1. heat oil in frying pan. place eggs in the frying pan then slowly beat them...just like making a scrambled egg..instead you beat the eggs in the frying pan.(i normally do this coz i don't want to add another dish to wash.)
2. add the grated chesse while beating the eggs
3. you may add a pinch of salt to flavor...anyway, the cheese already adds flavor to the eggs.
4. when the egg is done, set aside.
5. spread butter on the bread, (you can do one side only or both sides, depende sa gutom yan! kung gutom na gutom, pwede nang one side lang.) then place them on the frying pan. cook until the sides are brown.
(you can also use toaster for this, in our case, we don't have one so i used the frying pan instead.)
6. spread the sandwich spread or mayonaisse on your "butter toasted" bread and then add the egg and cheese mixture. this is best served with pop cola or coca-cola.

welcome

welcome to dravenworkz cookbook.
this is an online cookbook inspired by my cookings i do for my family abck when i was single and now that i have my own family.
here, i will showcase my personal take on classic filipino recipes and other recipes from our family. (almost all of us in the family are in to cooking, that's why.)
this is also inspired by my desire to publish a cookbook entitled, "cooking for daddy's" when me and my wife were still starting our family. i drew the inspiration from the meals i prepared for her, which were done in a very simple manner yet good enough to eat.
this is not just a cookbook but a storybook as well. i will try to recall the incidents that transpired on why i was able to come up with certain recipes or the story's behind each meal.
hope you enjoy the recipes i place here.
(p.s. comments are very much welcome!)
