    NAME OF RECIPE: Huevos Rancheros in Tortilla Cups by Bon Appetit

    INGREDIENTS:

    * 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    * 6 6- to 6 1/2-inch-diameter corn tortillas
    * 1 15-ounce can pinto beans or black beans, drained
    * 2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
    * 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    * 6 large eggs
    * 3/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
    * 1 cup purchased pico de gallo
    * 2 to 3 teaspoons bottled chipotle hot sauce

    DIRECTIONS:

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush six 10-ounce custard cups with 1 tablespoon oil. Stack tortillas; microwave uncovered until warm and flexible, about 25 seconds. Gently press 1 tortilla into each cup. Brush tortillas with 2 tablespoons oil.

    Place pinto beans, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/3 cup chopped cilantro, and cumin in small bowl; mash coarsely with fork. Spoon bean mixture into bottom of tortilla cups, spreading and dividing evenly. Crack 1 egg into each tortilla cup atop beans. Sprinkle each with grated Monterey Jack cheese, covering egg completely. Bake uncovered until egg yolks are firm to touch and whites are set, about 27 minutes (yolks will still be soft inside).

    Meanwhile, mix pico de gallo, 1/3 cup cilantro, and hot sauce in small bowl. Using large spoon, lift tortilla cups from dishes; transfer to plates. Top eggs with pico de gallo and serve immediately.

    Scotch Eggs.....anyone ever had them. I use them for low carb. It's basically Hard boiled eggs, and you wrap them in ground sausage (I used turkey sausage) and bake until the sausage is done.

    They were amazing. Come to think of it....I need to make some. Great protein breakfast and quick to grab and go

    My favorite portable breakfast is Scotch eggs. Hardboil as many eggs as you like, cool, and peel. You need about 1 pound of bulk sausage for each 5 or 6 eggs (depending on their size.) Divide the sausage into equal portions to cover your eggs, roll into a ball, then flatten and press one portion around each HB egg. You can just bake them as is, or you can roll them in grated Parm cheese (the green can kind is fine) and bake - I do 350* for about 20 minutes or til the sausage is cooked through.


    There is the recipe....cook ahead...and voila' a quick portable breakfast.

    NOW...I live alone and I think even the dogs sneak in the fridge....if you have others in the house (especially the male species)...ya best double this recipe if you want to have them around for breakfast. Ohhhhh I am sooooo making these this weekend!
