Directions

This recipe can easily be doubled to make 4 servings.

Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃).

Place the two corn tortillas on a baking sheet. Using cooking spray coat the corn tortillas on both sides evenly. Or alternatively brush both sides lightly with cooking oil.

Coat tortillas with cooking spray
Season the corn tortillas and pop them in the oven

Season each tortilla lightly with salt and pepper.

Bake tortillas turning once half way through until just beginning to brown and crispy.

Meanwhile, heat the salsa in a small skillet until bubbly.

Homemade salsa
Heat salsa until bubbly

Using a spoon make two depressions in the salsa for the eggs.

Carefully crack each egg into the depressions, keeping the eggs separated.

Crack eggs into the poaching liquid (the salsa)
Cover and simmer slowly

Cover, reduce heat to a gentle simmer and allow the eggs to poach. About 5 minutes for perfect slightly creamy yolks or 7 minutes for solid yolks.

To plate:

Place each tortilla on a serving plate.

Using a spatula, gently lift out the egg and place on the center of the crispy tortilla. Season each egg with a small amount of salt and pepper.

Place the perfectly poached egg
Spoon the salsa around the egg

Spoon the salsa around the egg over the crispy corn tortilla.

Top with some of the green onions

Sprinkle with green onions and cilantro.

Add some perfect Mexican rice on the side

Optionally server with Perfect Mexican Rice (prepared the day before and re-heated in the microwave) if desired. See recipe link below.
