How to Make Huevos En Cazuela Mexican Baked Eggs
- Preheat your broiler.
- Butter four (2-cup) souffle or individual baking dishes and set aside.
- If using fresh chiles: Arrange 2 large chiles on a broiler pan 3 inches from the heat. Broil, turning occasionally, until charred (about 5-7 minutes).
- If using canned chiles: Skip to step 6.
- Transfer the roasted chiles to a plastic bag or bowl, cover tightly, and let steam for 10 minutes.
- Peel, halve, and deseed the chiles. Rinse under cold water and dry. Julienne the chiles and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until translucent, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes).
- Add the julienned chiles and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1/2 cup chopped ham.
- Return to heat and cook until the liquid is absorbed (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Using a slotted spoon, divide the chile mixture evenly among the prepared dishes.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Warm the dishes in the preheated broiler for 2 minutes.
- Crack 2 large eggs into each dish. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle each dish with 1/4 cup shredded cheese, ensuring the yolks are completely covered.
- Broil the eggs as close to the heat source as possible until the whites are set and the cheese is melted and lightly browned (about 3-5 minutes).
- Serve immediately with warm tortillas, butter, and your favorite salsa.
