Sisig Egg and Cheese

Preparation

Prepare sisig

Prepare the sisig by seasoning the diced pork belly with kosher salt. Heat an oiled, large, heavy bottomed pan on medium-high heat and cook the pork belly until browned and golden, then set aside. In the same pan, add the red onion and jalapenos in the remaining pork fat and cook until slightly softened and the onions are semi-translucent, about a couple minutes or so. Add the pork belly back in along with soy sauce, brown sugar, and calamansi or lime juice. Continue to sauté, mixing until the meat, vegetables, and sauce are all combined. Set aside in a bowl for assembly.

Toast bread

In a medium skillet, oven, or toaster, toast two slices of bread until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Set aside once toasted.

Prepare eggs

Heat a medium skillet with a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high heat. Crack eggs into the skillet and give it a mix the eggs and whites until the eggs and whites just come together. As it starts to firm up, form a patty the size of your bread. Sprinkle with just a touch of kosher salt, then add a slice of American cheese on top of the egg patty and continue to cook until the egg has fully cooked and the slice of cheese has softened and become melty, remove from skillet and set aside for assembly.

Assemble sandwich

Place one slice of toasted bread on a plate. Add the egg and melted cheese onto the bread, then scoop a couple spoonfuls of sisig and place on the egg. Top the sandwich with a slice of bread and give it a press down to seal, then enjoy fresh!! You'll probably have extra sisig which you can make another sandwich with or eat it with rice.
