About Ensaymada

Ensaymada is a soft, sweet bread roll that originates from the Philippines, influenced by Spanish baking traditions. Made with flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk, it is rich and fluffy, often topped with butter, sugar, and grated cheese — sometimes aged cheese for a salty-sweet contrast. Variations may include fillings like ube (purple yam) or ham. While Ensaymada is beloved for its indulgent flavor, it is high in refined sugars, fats, and carbohydrates, making it an occasional treat rather than a health food. The butter and cheese contribute to its calorie density, while the refined flour offers little fiber or complex carbohydrates. However, its small size provides portion control, and homemade versions can be modified with whole grain flour and less sugar for a healthier alternative. Ensaymada is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
