How to Make Huevos Rancheros In Tomatillo Ranchero Sauce

  1. **Prepare the Sauce (Blender Method):** Combine tomatillos, garlic, onion, hot water, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a Vitamix or high-powered blender. Blend on high speed for 4-5 minutes, or until smooth and steam escapes.
  2. **Prepare the Sauce (Stovetop Method):** Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until softened (about 5 minutes). Add tomatillos, hot water, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Blend until smooth.
  3. **Preheat Oven & Prep Ramekins:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease four 5-inch ramekins with non-stick cooking spray. Place on a baking sheet.
  4. **Assemble Huevos Rancheros:** Place a tortilla in the bottom of each ramekin. Crack one egg into the center of each tortilla.
  5. **Add Beans and Sauce:** Divide the beans evenly among the ramekins, placing them around the egg, leaving the yolk exposed. Pour 1/4 cup of tomatillo sauce over the beans in each ramekin, again leaving the yolk exposed.
  6. **Bake:** Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup of cheese. Bake for 15 minutes. Lightly cover with foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are slightly runny.
  7. **Serve:** Top with extra cheese, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
