Anchovies and eggs mish – mash
Oh, I know, the blog was offline for 18 hours and there were red alerts all over saying it might be distributing malware and infecting your computers. Well, I’m definitely not distributing malware and I definitely did not infect my own pages. But someone did something. Whether that person has been hired by someone who wants to bring Pinoy Cook down or whether it was some random attack, I do not know. But my blog is clean and the removal of the alerts attests to that. If you’re still seeing them, just clear your browser’s cache then restart the browser and they’ll be gone.
Needless to say, it’s been a stressful day and I’ve been snarky and irritable. I was planning on posting a more exotic dish today but let’s keep it light for now, shall we? Some kind of comfort food seems to be more appropriate because comfort was something I needed badly while waiting for Google to review the site, re-crawl the pages and remove the red alerts. I know it’s not something that people looking for recipes would care to know about but food blogging does have a technical aspect to it, you know?
This anchovies and egg dish was breakfast two days ago. Remember the sauteing basics entry? Well, this breakfast dish is an application of everything that’s in there.
Ingredients
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 to 2 tomatoes, cored and chopped
2 green finger chilis, finely sliced
a handful of basil leaves (no stalks, just the leaves)
4 anchovies
4 eggs
3 tbsps. of olive oil, preferably herb-infused
Heat the olive oil in a pan. Saute the garlic, onion, chilis and tomatoes until they soften a little. Add the basil leaves and continue cooking until the leaves start to wilt.
Add the anchovies, breaking them as you stir. Season with pepper.
In a bowl, beat the eggs.
Keep beating until…
Well, I have three good photos of egg-beating so I’m posting them all. But they really say the same thing — beat the eggs!
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan.
Stir lightly and cook just until the eggs are set. Okay, here’s where preferences enter the picture. Some people like their eggs fully cooked and quite dry. I like my eggs soft and still runny in places. So, I turn off the heat before everything gets dry. You can always choose to cook the eggs to death, if that’s how you like them.
Serve the anchovies and eggs with salt on the side. I did not add salt while cooking because the anchovies are very salty and it is only when the dish is cooked that one can determine if it really needs more salt. So, let that be an individual choice. Serve the anchovies and eggs with rice or with bread — it’s good with either way.

Hi Ms. Connie! First off, this dish looks absolutely YUMMY! Makes me want to have breakfast right now! Maybe I can finally try out the can of anchovies I bought quite some time ago….
Second, I feel for you… I hope you feel a bit better now after all the red alert stuff! I can somewhat relate. My husband is very security conscious with our PCs and sometimes I’m not able to use it because he has to run a lot of security stuff I won’t even pretend to understand!
Its just so sad that with the availability of all this technology, more and more people also devise malicious “things” (I couldn’t find the right word!) to disrupt our internet activities…Oh well, that should be another discussion altogether!
Just so you know, I get really eye-poppingly excited whenever I check my PC and see a new post from you… Hope that makes you a bit less snarky now.
Have a great evening! =)
Hi Shawie, thanks, I feel like a load’s been taken off my shoulders. You know, I ditched Windows-based computers because of all the virus scare (Macs are so much less susceptible). If it were just my computer, it won’t be that hard to fix. But when it’s the web server that gets hit and search engines give out red alerts as though the site owner might have done something bad, it hurts. And it’s a headache. Makes you feel like you want to break things.
I missed your website yesterday, Ms. Connie! The first thing I do when I wake up is to check your site – imagine the horror when I saw the red alerts yesterday! I’m glad you’re back now… and the Anchovies and Eggs Mish Mash looks good. I might just drop by the store to get anchovies….
Hi Ms. Connie
Thanks for sharing this recipe, it looks very yummy. I love anchovies, can’t wait to eat this for dinner tonight, hubby hates the smell, but I love it, love it, love it.
Hi,
I am a new fan of yours, I started reading ur blog last week and I want to comment on this anchovie omelet, I amke this also, but I use daing, when I was in MNL a couple of months ago, I bought lots of dried fish and some of them were the dried lapulapu, so lots of meat. Iusually include them in my fried rice, and I make this omelet with daing, so good! para ka na ring nasa Cebu. and when I am pinning for Champurado, I just fry some of this dried lapulapu filets.
OBTW,
yes, your site introduced some malware to my Office PC, it got tagged but it was not in the definitions yet, I had to download the latest Defender and trend Micro to get rid of it, 4 trojans total., di bale malinis ulit ang PC ko
Hi again, Connie!
After replying to your email yesterday about your hubby’s having a meeting in Makati… so no cookie pick-up for yesterday— na sad ako…and then, when I went to your blog… hala! ano yan! For me parang double whammy! First, na-postpone yung pag-fulfill ng excitement natin about your cookie craving, then pati yung blog mo na offline… Ayayay! Stressful nga iyon. But then, know that we, your legion of followers will always be here waiting for any development . I am glad that everything’s ok now. Siya, just email me na lang if ok na kayo for pick-up… Sa Saturday, I might be meeting Nina D. for our exchange of goodies. Once again, thank you sa iyo—You had your “rain” yesterday… now, I wish for you enough sunshine for this day! Cheers, Crisma
Crisma, thanks for that cheerful note. Naloka ako yesterday but things are looking okay now. I’m so glad I had a hand in bringing you and Nina together. Cookie explosion! LOL
hala… ganun pala itsura ng anchovies? hehehe! all the while i thought yun yung maliliit na 1 inch long na isda na tawag sa amin “bolinao”… pardon my ignorance.. hehehe! Where did you buy your anchovies ms connie? does it come from a bottle or can sa groceries?
For all we know, yung nagcrecreate ng malware yan din nagbebenta ng anti-malware… Joke! hehehehe! You know what ms connie, yung mga most searched sites lang naman daw ang naiinfect ng malware, sabi ng friend ko.. so is it a good or malas situation? lets just say that its good kasi ang malas factor natatanggal, while ang fame ng site mo namamayagpag pa rin! hehehe! You ROCK!!
Chesy re “yung nagcrecreate ng malware yan din nagbebenta ng anti-malware”
THAT IS A DOCUMENTED FACT. If not selling anti-malware, the hackers are hired to get people’s private info and the info is sold to spammers.
Re anchovies: they come in cans. Very salty. I’ll take a photo next time I open a can.
re anchovies: cge po so that we all could have a good look..
re malware: hmmmnn.. people do try hard to make money i guess.. by hook or by crook… pathetic..
Sige, mauuna si Nina sa cookie explosion— then just tell me when the explosion is going to hit you! Doon ako super excited!
Hey Ms. Connie. I’m so glad you’re site is back!!! The anchovies in the omelette look so yummy! Obvious ba na dilis/daing/anchovy freak ako?
I’m still figuring out how to clean my PC from the trojans that got in…dum dee dum…any ideas?
Cathee, try the suggestion in comment #6.
gosh! i remember that day! while still at work and killing time, i opened pinoycook and wham! my PC shut down by itself! i was so scared because i thought the IT dept. caught me browsing! super bawal kasi dito mag browse. but the following day, i was able to browse pinoycook again…..
