Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 small flour tortillas
4 eggs
4 tablespoons half-and-half
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese or 1/2 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded
1 green onion, sliced thin
4 teaspoons diced green chili peppers (canned or fresh jalapeno)
salt and pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons salsa
chopped cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave until soft and pliable, about 1 minute.
  • Place each into 4" ramekins or tart pans. You might me able to use extra large muffin pans, though I've never tried that.
  • Beat together eggs, half and half, cheese, green onion, and green chile with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake until eggs are just set, about 20-40 minutes, depending upon the type and size ramekins or pans you used. Keep an eye on them.
  • To serve, spoon a tbsp of salsa over each and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
  • For a more substantial meal, you can add 1/2 c cooked and cooled Mexican chorizo to the egg mixture before filling the cups. It will take about 5 minutes longer to bake.
