eat make read

I want to eat this every day of my life. It’s that good. In fact, I made this Saturday morning for breakfast and when we woke up Sunday morning, it just seemed like the right thing to do, so I made it again. I made this really tasty tomatillo salsa last week and have been trying to find excuses to involve it in my meals, so when reader Deborah suggested putting it on eggs I was sold. I flipped through a new cookbook I bought by Nigella Lawson and she has this recipe for a mexican breakfast thing that gave me some ideas.

The final recipe is super simple and as you may have caught on to, super delicious. There’s something about the fried tortillas that just give the eggs a little extra texture and the salsa adds the perfect flavor.

eggs with fried tortillas and tomatillo salsa

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 flour tortillas*
4 eggs
1/4 cup tomatillo salsa
cilantro

*I prefer the flakiness of flour tortillas, but corn tortillas would work excellent too.

1
Heat oil in frying pan.
2
Roll tortillas into a cigar-like shape and cut into thin slices, about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Toss in frying pan and let them get crispy, about 5 minutes.
3
Finely chop garlic. Toss it in the pan after the tortillas have been cooking for a few minutes.
4
In a small bowl, scramble eggs. Pour over tortillas and garlic.
5
Add salsa over eggs.
6
Cook egg mixture for a few minutes and take it off the heat while the eggs are still shiny. They will continue to cook in the pan, but will retain their moisture.
7
Place a serving on a plate and top it with a little cilantro. So tasty!
