Season 12 - Breakfast / S12B14
Longaniza and Egg Breakfast Tostadas
Story
There’s something about waking up to the sound of birds and the smell of sizzling longaniza that takes Don Luis back to his childhood in the campo. Every Sunday, his abuela would shout “¡A comer!” from the kitchen while flipping tostadas on the open flame. She had a trick: a splash of vinegar in the eggs and just the right amount of sass when seasoning the longaniza. 😄 Now, in his rustic kitchen, Don Luis carries on the tradition—only this time, he’s passing it down to the next generation. With his jean and leather apron on, he lines up the crispy tostadas, cracks the eggs, and says with a grin, *“Cuando se empieza el día con sazón, todo sabe mejor.”* 💫 Time & Info
Instructions
