SPICY MEXICAN BRUNCH EGGS

Steps:

• 1 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet on medium heat; add sausage. Cook 3-4 minutes or until rendered and crumbly. Add onions, garlic and peppers; cook 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in sauce, water and red pepper; bring to a simmer.
• 2 Remove pan from heat. Make six wells in sauce with a large spoon, spacing evenly around pan. Crack 1 egg into each well. Push sauce around the edges of the egg white to contain each egg in its well, while keeping the yolk undisturbed. Cook covered on low heat 4-6 minutes, or until egg whites are set.
• 3 Top with cheese, radishes and cilantro. Drizzle with remaining oil before serving with bread.

POACHED EGGS IN TOMATILLO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Roast the poblano and jalepeno chiles directly in the flame of a gas burner, turning until charred on all sides. (Alternatively, if cooking with an electric stove, broil until charred.) Put chiles in a bowl, cover and steam until soft and cool, about 20 minutes. Peel, seed, and chop.
• Spread the tomatillos on a foil-lined pan, season with salt, pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the oven until soft and slightly charred, 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut tortillas into wedges and lay out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray both sides with olive oil spray and bake until crisp and golden, turning half way in between, 8 minutes per side.
• Saute onions and garlic in 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil until soft and starting to brown, 8 minutes. Add peppers, tomatoes, cumin, paprika, sugar and water and cook until tomatoes begin to burst and flavors come together, 5 minutes.
• Divide sauce between 4 small dishes. Poach eggs and lay 1 egg on each plate over sauce. Garnish with a couple of baked tortillas, crumbled queso fresco, a pinch of paprika and chopped cilantro.

SAUCY MEXICAN EGGS

Steps:

• Heat salsa in frying pan over medium heat.
• Crack in the eggs, sprinkle on the cheese, cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes (or till eggs are done) on medium-low heat.

SUNNY'S SALSA EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs with 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl until frothy. Add the butter to a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat. (If it immediately sizzles, the pan is too hot. It should be a slow melt.) Tilt the pan to swirl the butter and coat the bottom and sides of the pan.
• Add the whisked eggs to the pan and allow to rest until a light layer of cooked egg develops on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a whisk to stir and scramble the eggs, then let rest again. Repeat this until the eggs are about three-quarters of the way done, then add the salsa. Raise the heat slightly and cook, whisking the salsa into the eggs. Cook to desired texture. Top with cheese and cilantro.

WRAPPED MEXICAN EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Make the salsa: In a blender or food processor puree tomatillos, garlic, onions, cilantro, water, jalapeno pepper and salt. In a saucepan, bring the salsa to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer the salsa into a bowl and set the bowl aside.
• Make the filling: Put the chopped tomatoes into a sieve, and let them drain for 10 minutes or more.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the bell peppers, and saute them until they are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the eggs, and turn the heat to low. Stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, let the eggs cook until they begin to set. Take the skillet off the heat and sprinkle in the salt, pepper, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese and the drained tomatoes; stir gently.
• Lay a flour tortilla on a work surface. Spread about 2/3 cup of the egg filling down the middle of the tortilla. Drop 1 tablespoon of the sour cream on top of the eggs. Fold in the sides of the tortilla to partly cover the egg mixture, then roll the tortilla, folding in the outer edges as you roll, to enclose the egg mixture completely. Continue this process with the remaining filling and the tortillas.
• Place the filled tortillas close together in a 10x16 inch casserole dish. At this point you can cover the dish and chill it for up to 24 hours.
• Pour the salsa over the filled tortillas, and sprinkle them with the 1/2 cup grated cheese. Cover the dish with foil, and bake the casserole for 15 minutes (25 minutes if it has been chilled). Serve hot.
