How to Make Enchilada Eggs

  1. Whisk together 6 large egg beaters, 1/2 cup frozen corn (thawed), and 1/4 cup chopped canned green chiles in a large bowl until well combined.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an 11-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons chopped white parts of green onions and 1 clove minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes, until the onions are softened.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir to combine.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set on top and the bottom is lightly browned.
  6. Top evenly with 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, 1/4 cup crushed tortilla chips, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 tablespoons chopped green parts of green onions.
  7. Cover and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Uncover and let the Enchilada Eggs rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the eggs to set completely.
  9. Carefully cut into wedges and serve immediately from the skillet. Enjoy!
