How to Make Poached Eggs In A Tomato And Poblano Rajas Sauce

  1. Place 2 lbs ripe Roma tomatoes, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 bay leaves in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatoes are very soft, about 10 minutes.
  2. Carefully transfer the cooked tomatoes, garlic, and bay leaves to a blender. Puree until completely smooth.
  3. In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 chopped medium yellow onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of roasted poblano pepper slices and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Pour in the pureed tomato sauce. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of dried marjoram, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  7. (Optional) The sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat gently before proceeding.
  8. Reduce heat to medium-low. Gently crack each egg into a small bowl, then carefully slide each egg into the simmering sauce.
  9. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on top of each egg. Cover the pan with a lid.
  10. Poach the eggs for 4-5 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  11. Serve immediately on plates, sprinkled with 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  12. Serve with warm corn tortillas or toast.
