This recipe was created about 5 years ago in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. While working at The Frenchman’s Reef My husband had a few employees fly over from Puerto Rico to help him with a large event that was being put together by the hotel. One morning they showed up at my house and were starving. So what’s a Puerto Rican to do…I made them Breakfast mofongo. I had bacon, eggs, green plantain garlic and jalapeno peppers and I just made a breakfast mofongo topped with fried eggs. They had never heard of it before but LOVED!!!!!it. Now every time one of them visits they request it. I hope you take a walk on the wild side and try my updated recipe to include Spicy butter sauce porterhouse steak, my version of steak and poached eggs on breakfast mofongo.
Breakfast Mofongo with Steak and Eggs
This recipe was created because of a “what do I have in my refrigerator to feed all of these guys that showed up on my front door” moment. It turned out that sometimes the things you can't possibly plan for turn out to be a favorite for the mass. I had green plantains, garlic, bacon, eggs, and i made a mofongo which is fried plantain mashed with garlic seasonings and pork rind, but I instead used bacon and added jalapeno and diced the plantain making it more of a hash/ mash i then added a breakfast steak with a spicy kick and some eggs to place on top of the mofongo. A star was born my friends if you could only imagine how news of this spread and what has brought to many a question: what is the recipe? How do I make it?...well here it is and please share because we here at The Pink Papaya Love a good recipe. Enjoy!
