Migas

[donotprint] Migas might be my most favorite egg breakfast dish ever.  Eggs, jalapenos, salsa, cheese, chips… my mouth starts watering just thinking about them.

I like my migas with a lot of chips!!!  You may want to use 1/2 the chips, it’s up to you.

These migas are super easy to make, delicious and the spice level is completely adjustable for your tolerance.  I like mine with some ay yi yi yi!!!

jalapeno and onions

While the onions and jalapenos are cooking mix your eggs, cheese and salsa together in a bowl or large measuring cup; when the onions and jalapenos are ready, slowly pour the egg mixture all around the pan to cover eggs going in

allow the eggs to firm up a bit and then using a wooden spoon or spatula gently move them around to distribute the eggs.  This is the time you’re going to top the eggs with the broken corn tortilla chipstop with chips- migas Like I said, I like a LOT of tortilla chips in my Migas

Gently, using your spoon/spatula/spoonula, incorporate the eggs and the chips together and let it cook until the eggs reach the firmness that you desire!

Spoon into a dish and top with a dash more salsa and even some cilantro if you like it!

Recipe: Migas

Summary: Delicious Hearty Eggs with jalapenos, cheese, onions, salsa and corn tortilla chips

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1/3 C chopped jalapenos (I use nacho sliced and then chop them, so much easier. You CAN use fresh, they’re awesome but, this recipe is about the easy)
  • 1 C (roughly a good handful) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 C salsa (plus additional for topping)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • handful of corn tortilla chips, broken

Instructions

  1. dice the onions and jalapenos and grate the cheese
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and then add in the onions and jalapenos.
  3. While the onions and jalapenos cook; crack the eggs and whisk them together with the salsa and cheese.
  4. When the jalapenos and onions have reached the point where they’re soft and fragrant and you want to scoop them up with a chip and devour them…
  5. Pour in the eggs and make sure you get all the cheese and salsa in, too.
  6. Let the egg mixture firm up a bit and then top with your broken chips, softly and gently use a spoon to push the mixture around to make sure that everything gets cooked. 7. Serve topped with a bit more salsa. You can garnish with more jalapenos, cilantro and even fresh diced tomatoes.

Variations

* you could use fresh onions, jalapenos, tomatoes and cilantro instead of salsa. * Just saute all of those together and then add in the eggs. * You can use corn tortillas instead of corn tortilla chips, I just prefer corn tortilla chips

Green Eggs and Ham

A favorite book from childhood and the perfect dish for St Patrick’s Day.

I do not like Green Eggs and Ham, I do not like them Sam I Am” ~ Dr Seuss

Trust me, get your kids involved in making this dish and they’ll not only have fun in the kitchen with you; they’ll devour this protein packed dish and ask when they can help you cook again.

Rachel’s Note: This was one of my first attempts at vlogging last year.. be kind.

Valentine’s Day Breakfast Recipes

Okay, Valentine’s day is this weekend and while I’m over here whipping up Cupid cupcakes and Vanilla Glazed Heart Shaped Cookies for a kinder party today, I thought I’d share two of my favorite super easy and DELICIOUS breakfast ideas that are perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Now, I want y’all to keep in mind that these are two of my first video recipes EVER so, just look past that and enjoy the recipes and mine and my kids’ silliness.

First Up:  Eggs in a Basket ~ Valentine’s Style

These are super easy.

  • Texas Toast (or thick cut white or wheat bread)
  • Eggs
  • salt and pepper
  • butter
  1. Butter the bread using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut a heart into the center of your bread.  Put in a skillet over medium heat until you can hear the butter start to sizzle.
  2. Crack your egg into the heart and let it begin to set; I prefer my yolks scrambled, so scramble it and then add your seasonings to taste.
  3. When the egg is set, flip and brown the other side.

Serve with fresh fruit and a mimosa for the adults and orange juice and sparkling cider for the kids (adding raspberries to these drinks is a delicious and fun twist!)

Next: French Toast Apple Bake

(This is prepared the night before)

This video was Monkey and Princess’ debut ;-)

  • 3/4 C butter, melted
  • 1 C brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (more, if your palate pleases)
  • 2 (21 oz) cans apple pie filling
  • 15 to 18 slices white bread
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 3/4 to 2 C milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Syrup (for later)
  1. Grease/Pam/Butter a 9X13 baking dish
  2. Pour butter into the dish and then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon into the dish.
  3. Top with the apple pie filling.
  4. In a mixing bowl whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla
  5. Layer the bread slices on top of the apple pie filling, pressing down firmly so that they get all nice and smooshed down onto the apple pie/butter mixture. You can alternate layers of bread with pouring the egg mixture so that every layer is thoroughly saturated.
    Make sure that you pour SLOWLY, so as to avoid spillovers ;-)
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
  7. Uncover and bake at 350 for 1 hour.
  8. Drizzle with syrup and put in the broiler for a few minutes to caramelize.

I hope y’all have an amazing Valentine’s Weekend.

MWAH!!!
