Pretty please, with sugar and cheese on top.
We like our ensaymada how we like almost everything: soft, sweet, and cheesy. The pastry has been passed down for generations but has always remained a staple for merienda. Laden with butter, sugar, and cheese, the sweet buns of glory always make an appearance on our tables.
Paired with hot cocoa, coffee, or any sweet concoction of your choice, the sweet and savory combo can never go wrong. So go ahead, take a bite of these fluffy picks in and out of Metro Manila, and say cheese!
