Equipment
- 1 Skillet
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegetable oil (120 ml)
- 4 large eggs
- 10 ounces queso de freír (Dominican frying cheese), sliced (280 g)
- 12 ounces Dominican salami, sliced into ¼-inch rounds (340 g)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Carefully crack the eggs into the hot oil and fry to your preference (sunny-side up is traditional). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the sliced queso de freír to the same hot oil and fry for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy on the outside. Remove and set aside with the eggs.
- Add the sliced Dominican salami to the same oil and fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until browned and slightly crispy. Remove from the skillet.
- Serve immediately with a side of mangú (Dominican mashed plantains) and sautéed onions if desired.
Notes
- Using the same oil throughout cooking helps build flavor and reflects traditional preparation.
- Fry the salami last, as it releases more residue and can darken the oil.
- Queso de freír should develop a golden crust while staying soft inside.
- Cook the eggs first, so they stay intact and don’t pick up flavors from the other ingredients.
