How to Make Saucy Mexican Eggs

  1. Heat 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Crack 2 large eggs directly into the simmering salsa.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred Mexican blend) over the eggs.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. The whites should be set, and the yolks can be runny or cooked through depending on your preference.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy! Optional: Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
