Individual Baked Huevos Rancheros

I love Huevos Rancheros. Texas Restaurants serve amazing Huevos Rancheros. I generally make them from scratch, without a recipe. However, when I saw this recipe from Food and Wine, I knew I would make it for our family.


Here's what you'll need:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
4 individual shallow Gratin Dishes

1/4 C Olive Oil
1 small Onion, diced
1/2 Green Bell Pepper. diced
1 Jalapeno, seeded and finely minced
1 Clove of Garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 - 15 oz. can of Tomato Sauce
1/4 C Water
3 C of Tortilla Chips
8 Large Eggs
1 C Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

Sauce
In a saucepan on medium heat:

Heat the Oil
Add:
Onion
Bell Pepper
Jalapeno
Garlic
Oregano
Season with Salt and Pepper
Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.

Add:
Tomato Sauce
Water
Simmer for 5 minutes.

Divide the Sauce evenly in the Gratin Dishes.
Arrange the Tortilla Chips around the perimeter of each Dish. Stand them up.

Crack two Eggs into each dish on top of the Sauce.
Sprinkle each dish evenly with the Cheese.
Place them on a Sheet Pan and Bake for 15 - 20 minutes.
Serve hot.

Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
