Ingredients

  • 2 corn tortillas more tortillas for serving on the side if desired
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 Tbsps Mexican Green Sauce
  • onion optional
  • sour cream optional
  • salsa optional
  • Cotija cheese for garnish substitute Feta if desired -optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an oven proof dish.
  • Heat vegetable oil over medium high heat. Pan fry 2 tortillas (separately) until they are toasted and crispy. Break roughly into 8 pieces each. Crisp other tortillas if you plan to serve more on the side.
  • Layer half the broken tortillas and 2 Tbsps of the Green Mexican sauce. Layer the rest of the broken tortillas. Try to keep some tortilla pieces toward the edge so they are not buried in the cheese and green sauce to come.
  • Break two eggs toward each end of the dish. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly around the casserole. I tend to not put cheese directly on the eggs. Top the eggs with the remaining 2 Tbsps of green sauce.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes until eggs are the consistency you want.
  • Serve hot with additional tortillas and garnishes as you wish.

Notes

Variation:  You can replace eggs with 4 oz of shredded, cooked chicken if desired.
Nutrition includes onion garnish and 1 oz Cotija cheese.
