Chilaquiles style eggs

Take the husks off of the tomatillos and discard. Rinse the tomatillos under warm water and rub off the sticky film. Place in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer until dark green but NOT split. Drain carefully as to not break the tomatillos and lose their precious juice. Transfer to a blender.

Add to the blender the jalapeno, onion, salt, cilantro, and cumin, to the blender. Puree until combined but slightly chunky.

In a large skillet over med heat add the salsa and bring to a boil. Add the chips to the salsa and simmer and stir until the chips start to soften. Transfer to a serving dish.

In a medium size non-stick skillet over medium heat melt the butter. Crack in four eggs. Sprinkle with a touch of salt. Cover the pan and cook until eggs are to desired doneness. Place eggs on top of plated chips.

Garnish with chopped cilantro and grated cotija cheese. Serve.

You can skip making the salsa and use your favorite jarred salsa (green or red).

    I knew I ordered Cilantro for some reason this week. Fortunately, it is available for delivery from our grocer. This looks ab fab, and will give it a try on the morrow, I believe.

    Do you use (or have an opinion) on things like Hormone Free eggs or other varieties than what would be considered regular? I saw on a program where some eggs are coated in butter after being plucked from the chicken. Sounds interesting and weird at the same time.

    We continue to be a fan of your show, and look forward to all your ventures. Will be getting some more of your Indian Spice soon.

    Cheers and blessings to you and family.

      Happy Monday Chase, always great to hear from you. I don’t have a strong opinion and have not heard of that technique before. The great news is that there is an egg out there to suit everyone’s taste. I think the best thing is to find a brand that you like, do your homework on that brand to discover whatever is important to you and get cooking :)

      Take care and thanks again!
      Best,
      J
