Ingredients for Baked Eggs With Salsa

  • 1 cup prepared salsa (your favorite, or see notes for homemade option)
  • 4 large eggs
  • salt to taste
  • Black Pepper
  • Green Onion
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your preference)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • Vegetable Oil

How to Make Baked Eggs With Salsa

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly oil or spray a medium oven-safe skillet (approximately 8-10 inches).
  3. Spoon 1 cup of salsa into the skillet, spreading it evenly to create 4 small wells.
  4. Carefully crack one egg into each well, ensuring the yolks remain intact.
  5. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped green onions evenly over the eggs.
  6. Season eggs generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.
  8. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your preference) over the eggs.
  9. Continue baking for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
