This is one of those breakfast recipes that sounds very fancy. The truth is, it’s easy to make but makes you look good!

It’s one of those recipes that after you make it the first time, it will become part of the weekly breakfast rotation and before you know it, you’re whipping it up with the same ease as making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and macaroni and cheese.

I now give you my favorite way to make baked eggs…with a little Mexican flavor and flare!
