SOUTHWESTERN HAM AND EGG SKILLET
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day but who has the time to make a good breakfast? Now YOU do! These eggs are done up Migas style- with the corn tortillas IN the eggs themselves! If you think you wont like it that way feel free to skip that. I do recommend wrapping this up in a tortilla though and making it a breakfast taco. Made for RSC 11. Gouda was one of the great ingredients on the list. Feel free to sub a different cheese if you like. Mornings can be hectic but this dish cooks up fast and tasty. So fast that you may want to chop and measure everything before hand so it is ready and waiting. You can even do that the night before! I hope these eggs bring a smile to your face and make your taste buds sing! What a great way to start off the day!
