Eggs, Huevos Rancheros

Eggs, Eggs, Eggs. What a funny word! Anyway, I love eggs. I have tried white eggs, brown eggs, duck eggs, turkey eggs. I think eggs are one of the funniest foods in existence. You can turn them into quiche, a fritatta, they can be baked, poached, scrambled, boiled and fried. They can be used to make other foods or eaten on their own. What a wonderful food. And as I have been eating less and less meat, other forms of protein become more important. Especially as they go over just as well in Fall as they do in Summer. So I am going to do a series of posts on some of my favorite ways to serve eggs. Here it goes!

Heuvos Rancheros (Ranch style eggs) Serves 2
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 15 oz can black beans
2-3 green onions
1/2 c. salsa
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 bay leaf
For serving, as desired
Tortillas or Tortilla chips
sour cream
avocado or guacamole
additional salsa
shredded cheese

Directions:
In a large skillet, mix the beans, onions, and seasonings. Put over medium heat. When mixture starts to bubble, make 4 wells and crack one egg into each well. Fry until cooked to desired doneness. Serve each person 2 eggs over the tortillas or chips. Top as desired.
Enjoy!
