Ingredients

Vegetable oil, as needed
1/3 cup Salsa Verde, recipe follows
4 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese (about 1/2 ounce)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Lightly oil a medium nonstick skillet with an ovenproof handle. Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup of salsa into the pan. Lightly press down the salsa to make 4 evenly spaced shallow nests and break an egg into each. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until the egg whites are cooked and the yolks are still runny, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and continue baking until just melted, about 1 minute more. Top with the cilantro. Serve immediately.

Salsa Verde:

1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed

1 clove garlic

1/4 medium onion

1/4 jalapeno chile, with seeds

1 teaspoon kosher salt

4 sprigs fresh cilantro

Put the tomatillos in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain.

Puree the garlic, onion, jalapeno, and salt in a blender until smooth. Add the tomatillos and cilantro sprigs and puree until smooth.

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I will definitely make this again. I used American cheese instead of the Monterey jack, because I did not have any. I also... used jarred Salsa Verde and dry cilantro. I baked the eggs in a muffin pan, which took a little longer to cook. They came out incredible!Read more

I made this in less time than the recipe said. It's so easy! For a more filling entree, I have added beans to the salsa, and... also red & green peppers. My family loves this simple dish.Read more

Yum!

I didn't make the salsa verde, but the dish tastes delicious. I love how it tastes after you bake an egg. Some flour... tortillas on the side would be great too. =)Read more
