Easy Eggs in Purgatory
Easy Eggs in Purgatory
I like to keep things easy. Simple. That’s how I roll. Early Sunday morning I was noodling about trying to figure out what I would have for breakfast when I realized it was almost lunchtime. I peeked in the fridge and realized I had half a jar of salsa, a couple of jalapenos and some eggs.
Boom! Eggs in purgatory. I’m sure there are other recipes out there that are much more complicated and just as tasty, but I love how easy this went together and how quickly the whole thing was done. So I had to share. You're welcome.
Ingredients
4 eggs
1 jalapeno, sliced, to taste
4 green onions, sliced, green tips reserved for garnish
½ cup salsa
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt & pepper
Cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Directions
Heat a saute pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, green onions and jalapeno. Lightly salt and pepper the green onions and jalapeno. Allow to saute for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the salsa and water to the pan. Stir until combined. Bring it to a simmer.
Crack an egg into a small bowl and gently turn it into the simmering salsa. Continue until all eggs are in the pan. Salt and pepper the eggs.
Cover the pan and simmer for 5 or so minutes until the eggs are as firm as you like them.
Garnish with the green tips of the green onions and the chopped cilantro.
