Salsa Poached Eggs (Inspired by Huevos Rancheros)

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tsps avocado oil
  • 2 cups salsa or pico de gallo
  • 4-6 large eggs
  • sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated cheese of choice
  • 1 ripe but firm avocado diced
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • a handful of fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees f.
  • Add the avocado oil to an oven-safe skillet and heat over medium heat on your stovetop.
  • Spread the salsa into the bottom of the skillet.
  • Once the skillet is hot and the salsa starts to bubble, use the back of a spoon to make small spaces and very gently crack the eggs into each one.
  • Season lightly with sea salt and pepper, then sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Place your skillet in the preheated oven and bake for around 8-12 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking. Less time for runny/jammy yolks, more time for firm yolks.
  • To serve, sprinkle with diced avocado, green onions, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
  • Enjoy while hot.
