Bacsilog is a short cut term for bacon, sinangag (fried rice) at itlog (eggs or fried eggs). Sometimes it is also called baconsilog. This is just one of the combinations of the menu of partnering fried rice and fried eggs with other marinated or deli meats like, ham, tocino, longganisa, luncheon meats, beef or pork tapa, etc. And it is often served at breakfast and it is a heavy breakfast because it is served with fried rice. Using bacon is not really that popular in the past because bacon is more expensive than those I’ve mentioned above so I think customers will prefer a cheaper substitute. But nowadays bacon is common in most supermarkets and there a popular food cart business that serves baconsilog, the Ate Rica’s Bacsilog. The version of their baconsilog is not a traditional one because it smothered with cheese sauce and sprinkled with liquid seasoning. Usually the combination is just fried rice, eggs and meat like tapa or tocino and some tomatoes or atchara.

This recipe is only a copy cat of Ate Rica’s Bacsilog. Not sure what is the recipe of the cheese sauce but the cheese sauce recipe I got here is only a basic one. You can experiment by adding herbs or other spices as per your preference.
