💰Cheaper: bologna

Turkey sausage offers a leaner option with similar flavors.

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds a rich flavor.

Yellow plantains are sweeter and easier to find, while potatoes are a budget-friendly substitute.

Soak the plantains in hot water for 10 minutes before slicing.

Peel the plantains, following the ridges and slicing them into rounds.

Boil the plantains in salted water for about 15 minutes until tender.

Cut the cheese and salami into pieces and slice the red onion.

Marinate the sliced onion in white vinegar.

Fry the salami in a teaspoon of oil until golden brown.

Sauté the marinated onions in a little canola oil until caramelized.

Mash the boiled plantains with 2 tablespoons of butter, adding reserved boiling water if necessary for consistency.

Fry the cheese until golden brown.

Fry the eggs to your preference (sunny-side up or scrambled).
