    Huevos a la Mexicana

    This is probably the easiest of the breakfast dishes we're looking at in this Module.  But don't let its simplicity fool you, it's a tasty recipe to keep in mind when you want to change up your breakfast routine.

    You can print out the recipe box at the bottom of this page or you can sear this vegetable Mexican flag into your head for the ingredient list:

    These Mexican Scrambled Eggs are perfect for lazy weekend mornings: well-balanced, easy to make, and they have real kick. Try draining the tomatoes before adding them to the pan, so much better! mexicanplease.com

    So we'll be using:

    1 jalapeno
    1/8 white onion
    1 Roma tomato
    4-6 sprigs of cilantro

    Cooking these ingredients in some oil and plopping in some eggs is fine for mornings where your head is still in bed, but if you fine tune just a little bit you can improve the flavor quite a bit.

    First, go easy on the onion as it will tend to dominate if you use too much of it.   This recipe starts with 5 eggs and uses only 1/8 of an onion (less is fine too).

    And second, you'll notice a big difference if you drain the tomatoes before adding them to the pan.  Tomatoes are loaded with water and this can frequently result in either wet or overcooked eggs.

    You can press the chopped tomato into a sieve, but lately I've just been discarding the seeds and putting the chopped tomato on a paper towel.  Season with a pinch of salt and set aside until you need it.

    Add a dollop of olive oil to a saute pan over medium heat.  (You can optionally add a knob of butter if you want.)

    Add the chopped onion and jalapeno and cook for a few minutes until they soften.

    Whisk together five eggs and add them to the pan, along with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and some freshly cracked pepper.

    Once the eggs are mostly cooked add the tomatoes and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.  Cook for an additional minute to bring up the temp of the tomatoes.

    Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary (I usually do) and serve immediately.

    These are best eaten right away so have your sides in place before setting them on the table.

    Warm corn tortillas loaded with beans and melted cheese are a great side dish and will give your friends and family the option of making some on-the-fly breakfast tacos.

    And feel free to fire them up with a dose of hot sauce.

    But however you serve them, Huevos a la Mexicana is a simple, rewarding dish to keep in mind for grumpy mornings

    Instructions

    • Finely chop 1 jalapeno and 1/8 of an onion.

    You can use serrano peppers instead of jalapenos if you want.
