Huevos Rancheros Recipe
This recipe for huevos rancheros makes a delicious weekend breakfast or brunch or an any day lunch recipe. The sauce is very similar to a traditional salsa.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 onions, medium size, finely chopped
- 1 green pepper, large, finely chopped
- 1 cup tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons chilli powder
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon cumin
- 8 eggs
- strips of red pimento
- 2 ounces cheese, Monterey jack, grated
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet. Sauté the garlic in the oil over a medium low heat for 5 minutes or until softened. Make sure the garlic doesn't burn, as it gets bitter if it does.
- Remove the garlic and sauté the onions and pepper until soft. Add the tomatoes and seasonings. Simmer, covered until the mixture is thick and the tastes have blended together.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste, including the amount of heat.
- Fry, poach eggs or scramble the eggs. You can either pour the sauce over the eggs, allowing 2 eggs per serving or serve the eggs on a bed of sauce as in the image. Either way is fabulous.
