MEXICAN BREAKFAST

The Mexican name for this dish is 'huevos rancheros' - eggs with chillies, tomatoes and peppers in burritos. It's absolutely great if you've got a few mates round, and even better if you've got a hangover you're trying to shake off!

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 red peppers
2 fresh red or orange chillies
olive oil
1 large dried chilli
3 fresh bay leaves
2 x 400 g tins of quality plum tomatoes
2 large ripe tomatoes
6 large eggs
6 tortillas
Cheddar cheese, to serve

Steps:

  • Peel and finely slice the onions and garlic. Deseed and finely slice the peppers and chillies.
  • Get a large frying pan (make sure you've got a lid to go with it) on a high heat and add several good lugs of olive oil.
  • Add the onion, garlic, peppers, fresh and dried chillies, bay leaves and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and cook for 15 minutes, or until to softened and caramelised, stirring regularly.
  • Pour in the tomatoes, using a spoon or potato masher to break them up. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a medium heat and cook for a further 5 minutes to reduce the sauce.
  • When you've got a nice thick tomato stew consistency, have a taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
  • Slice the fresh tomatoes and lay them over the top of the mixture.
  • Use a spoon to make small wells in the tomato stew, then crack in the eggs so they poach in the thick, delicious juices - try to crack them in as quickly as you can so they all get to cook for roughly the same amount of time.
  • Season from a height, put the lid on and let the eggs cook for around 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
  • Warm the tortillas while this is happening. You can pop them into the oven at 180°C/350°F/gas 4 for a few minutes, microwave them for a few seconds or even lay them over the lid of the pan so they heat up as the eggs cook.
  • Take the lid off and check your eggs by giving them a poke with your finger. When they're done to your liking, turn the heat off and take the pan to the table with the warmed tortillas, the Cheddar and a grater so everyone can get involved and make their own. Personally, I like to grate a bit of cheese right on to a warm tortilla, spoon an egg and some of the wonderful tomato stew on top, wrap it up, and eat it right away. What a beautiful way to wake up!

Tips for Making the Best Mexican Breakfast Eggs

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Use fresh eggs, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many eggs to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook the eggs in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the eggs to your liking: Some people like their eggs over easy, while others prefer them over hard. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness.
  • Serve immediately: Huevos rancheros are best served hot off the stove. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
