Huevos Verde con Jamón (Green Eggs and Ham) image

I love Huevos Rancheros, Eggs with Tomatillo Salsa and Quesadillas so I decided to take parts of each recipe and see what I could come up with. It turned out delicious and when served with refried beans, fried potatoes with onions and hot flour tortillas....it turned out to be a great breakfast. Not exactly diet conscious but...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 20

QUESADILLA WITH EGGS ON TOP
2 c queso fresco, crumbled and divided into ½
8 corn tortillas
2 c ham, cubed
8 large eggs
salt and pepper to taste
green (tomatillo) sauce to cover (recipe below)
GREEN SAUCE (TOMATILLA SALSA) IT'S EASIER IF YOU MAKE THIS AHEAD OF TIME
1 lb fresh tomatillos, husked and washed or 2 (13 ounce) cans tomatillos, drained
6 - 7 serrano chiles, stemmed and finely diced
6 sprig(s) fresh cilantro, chopped
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 c chicken broth
1/2 lime, juiced
GARNISHES (OPTIONAL)
sliced avocado
sour cream
tortilla chips

Steps:

  • 1. Place a dry griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • 2. Place a tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle with cheese.
  • 3. Add ½ cup of ham and top with more cheese.
  • 4. Place another tortilla on top. Cook until light golden for about 1 - 2 minutes.
  • 5. Flip over and cook until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
  • 6. Cook the eggs to your preference. Once eggs have been cooked, place over tortillas; salt and pepper to taste and top with Green Sauce (see below).
  • 7. Green (Tomatillo) Sauce Directions: (I make this ahead of time and keep it in the fridge to use on this and many other dishes.)
  • 8. In a medium saucepan add fresh tomatillos, chiles, and enough water to just cover. Lightly salt.
  • 9. Cook for 15 minutes and drain. (For canned tomatillos, just drain and remove the thin, clear skins.)
  • 10. Place tomatillos, cilantro, onion and garlic in a blender or food processor. Process to almost smooth-leave a little texture.
  • 11. In a large saucepan heat the oil over medium high heat. When oil is hot add all the sauce at once, stirring constantly until darkened-about 5 minutes.
  • 12. Add the broth, return to a boil and reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened, around 10 minutes.
  • 13. Remove from heat, squeeze in fresh lime juice, stir again, taste and add salt if needed. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate if not using immediately.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less ham next time.

I've tried this recipe a few times and it's always a success. The eggs are always cooked perfectly and the ham is always crispy. I love that it's such a versatile dish. You can add different vegetables or cheese to the eggs, or you can change the typ

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this dish was not it. The eggs were green and the ham was dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this dish was just okay. The eggs were a little runny for my taste and the ham was a bit dry.

The eggs were a little overcooked for my liking, but the ham was delicious. I'll try again next time and cook the eggs for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning.
