Chef-approved: 2-in-1 Classic Egg and Classic Chicken Sandwiches
MANILA, Philippines — Inspired by the “Ihain ang Saya” movement, which empowers Filipino moms to elevate regular home-cooked dishes into something more nutritious and at the same time delicious, Chef Ylyt Manaig, along with showbiz personality and chef Judy Ann Santos and celebrity chef RV Manabat, posed a culinary challenge to everyone.
The challenge: To give fresh takes on familiar Filipino favorites using Eden Cheese and share those exciting new recipes with other Filipino moms so they can create a community of like-minded individuals who share a common passion for cooking, a community that inspires and uplifts each other through the joy of serving inspired meals.
Judy Ann transformed the humble Omelette into her Pesto Omelette, and Chef RV turned Ramen into an Omelette with his Cheesy Ramen Omelette. For her part, Chef Ylyt made two special sandwiches — Classic Egg Sandwich and Cheesy Chicken Sandwich — that are sure to impress and inspire others to whip up their own creative and delicious sandwiches.
