3 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 piece Yellow Onion, Peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves Garlic, Thinly Sliced
1 bunch Swiss Chard, Stems and Leaves separated and chopped 9 cups
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Half and Half or Heavy Cream
8 pieces Eggs
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
3/4 cup Cojita Cheese or Queso Fresco
1 piece Avocado, Sliced
1 piece Jalapeno, Sliced
1 handful Cilantro, Chopped
1 bag Corn Tortillas or Chips
1 piece Lime, Sliced

Steps:

Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook until softening, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 5 minutes more.
Raise the heat to medium high, add the chard stems, and cook to release some liquid, 5 minutes. Add the chard leaves, in batches, adding more as they wilt, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until completely wilted, 3 to 5 minutes more. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, pour in the half and half and stir loosely together.
Make eight small hollows in the cooked chard with the back of a spoon. Gently crack an egg into each hollow. Cover with a lid or foil and cook on medium-low until the eggs are just set, but still soft, about 7 to 9 minutes. Remove the lid, sprinkle with salt, pepper, cotija, avocado, jalapeño and cilantro. Serve with smoked hot sauce, toasted tortillas and lime wedges.
