There is nothing better than waking up on the weekend and making yourself a delicious breakfast to start the day. We used to go out all the time for breakfast, but to cut back, we have been cooking our own breakfasts at home more often.
I’ve been surprised to find that I like breakfast at home perhaps better than going out. I don’t have to get showered or changed, and you never have to wait for a table. This recipe for Huevos Divorciados, or Fried Eggs on Corn Tortillas with Two Salsas, is great, and if you are only cooking for two, you can make the full recipe and even have leftovers for Sunday. These eggs feed 4 people at $1.48 per serving.
Huevos Divorciados
1/2 lb plum tomatoes
1/2 lb fresh tomatillos, husks discarded and tomatillos rinsed
2 fresh jalape?±o chiles
1-inch wedge of large white onion
2 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 to 1/2 cup water
8 large eggs
8 (6- to 7-inch) corn tortillas
Heat a frying pan over moderate heat until a bead of water evaporates quickly on it, then roast the tomatoes, tomatillos, jalape?±os, and onion, turning each with tongs, until they are charred on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Core the roasted tomatoes, discard the stems from the jalape?±os, and discard half of the seeds from each chile.
For the red salsa: Coarsely pur?©e the tomatoes, 1 jalape?±o, 1 garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor, and then transfer the mixture to a bowl.
For the green salsa: Coarsely pur?©e the tomatillos, remaining jalape?±o, remaining garlic clove, remaining teaspoon salt, cilantro, and 1/4 cup water (add more if needed for desired consistency), and then transfer the salsa to a bowl.
Fry two eggs per person to your liking, and heat up the corn tortillas. You can fry them in a little bit of vegetable oil in a frying pan, or you can do what I normally do, and stick them in the toaster oven for a couple of minutes until they crisp up.
Place two tortillas on each place and top each of them with one fried egg. Spoon the green salsa over one tortilla and egg, and then spoon the red salsa over the other side.
Have a wonderful weekend!
