EGG TOSTADA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat together egg whites, 1/4 cup reduced-fat Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup salsa.
• In a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, brown both sides of the tortilla. Remove from heat.
• In the same skillet over medium-high heat, scramble the egg white mixture until no longer runny.
• Top tortilla with the scrambled egg mixture, remaining cheese and remaining salsa. Season with salt and pepper.

EGG MOLE TOSTADA

Steps:

• Spray a small pan with cooking spray. Heat on medium for 1 minute, add tortilla, heat for about 30 seconds and turn over.
• Spoon sauce and salsa over tortilla.
• Crack egg over sauce (sunny side up-style). Cover. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until white is firm and yolk is soft-set.
• Top with Cheese and cover for 1 minute, until cheese is melted.
• Put on a plate and allow to cool for a few minutes. Tortilla will be crispy, and will be easiest to eat with your hands, like a pizza.

BREAKFAST TOSTADA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook, turning halfway through, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, add the vegetable oil, black beans, a pinch of salt and pepper and some hot sauce. Heat until warmed through, mashing the beans with a fork.
• On a baking sheet, layer: 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans and 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted completely and the edges of the tostadas are beginning to turn golden, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg and cook until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
• To serve, transfer the tostada to a plate, top with the fried egg, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream, a sprinkle of the remaining cheese and the cilantro. Place the bacon on the side and enjoy.

15-MINUTE BEAN, EGG AND AVOCADO TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack to the center of the oven and preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, coat 8 cups of the muffin tin generously with cooking spray. Crack an egg into each, sprinkle with salt and broil until the tops are golden brown and the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes (a small knife inserted into the egg helps to check doneness). Remove the muffin tin from the oven and set aside.
• While the eggs are cooking, put the refried beans in a small bowl, cover and microwave until hot, about 2 minutes. Dice the avocado. Slice the roasted red peppers into strips.
• Arrange 2 tostadas on each of 4 plates. Spoon and spread some of the beans on each tostada. Use a small off-set spatula or spoon to scoop out the eggs from the muffin tin and place one, browned-side down, on top of each tostada. Spoon salsa verde over each egg and top with roasted pepper, avocado and cheese.

EGG TOSTADA-FRITTATA WITH RAINBOW TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Chop the tomatoes and place in a mixing bowl. Add the red onion, scallions, jalapenos, and cilantro. Dress with lime juice and salt and toss to combine. Let stand until ready to use.
• Preheat a 10 to 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat with extra-virgin olive oil. Also preheat the broiler with the rack positioned in the middle of the oven.
• To the hot oil add the bacon and render, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions and red chilies and cook about 4 to 5 minutes to soften them. Beat the eggs with the hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Lightly crush the tortillas and add them to the pan, pour the eggs overtop, and stir to combine. Settle the eggs and lightly brown them, then transfer the pan to the center of the oven and broil the eggs for 6 to 7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the spicy vegetarian refried beans with a splash of water to thin them out.
• Shred the cheeses with a box grater and combine.
• Remove the eggs from the oven and spread the refried beans overtop, stopping 1-inch from the edge all around. Top with shredded cheese and pickled jalapenos and return to the oven for 1 to 2 more minutes to melt the cheese. Remove the egg tostada-frittata from the oven and top it with shredded lettuce. Lightly drain off the tomato water from the tomato mixture and mound the salsa over the lettuce. Serve extra salsa at the table.

SAUSAGE AND EGG TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Cook sausage and onion in large skillet over medium-high heat 8-10 minutes or until sausage is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently; drain.
• Place tostada shells on serving plates. Top with sausage mixture, eggs, cheese, salsa and cilantro.

BEET TOSTADAS WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toss beets, garlic, chile powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, pepper, 1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ⅓ cup oil in a medium bowl until beets are coated. Scrape onto a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; bake, tossing every 15 minutes, until beets are tender and spices are very fragrant and smell slightly toasted, 35-45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 cups oil in a large saucepan over high until oil bubbles immediately when the edge of a tortilla touches the surface. Carefully fry onion, adding a little bit at time to avoid too much spattering and reducing heat as needed, until tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat process with chiles, about 5 minutes. Transfer to same baking sheet. Fry sage leaves until crisp, about 30 seconds. Transfer to baking sheet. Working one at a time, fry tortillas, turning once, until crisp, puffed in places, and deep golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer tostadas to baking sheet.
• Heat remaining 3 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Crack eggs into skillet, leaving space around each one, and cook until whites are set and edges are crisp, about 4 minutes. Season with salt.
• Spoon beet mixture onto tostadas, dividing evenly, and top each with an egg, then fried onion, chiles, sage, and Salsa de Árbol.

BLACK BEAN POBLANO & FRIED EGG TOSTADOS

Steps:

• Drain the black beans, reserving 1/4 c of the liquid from the can. Combine the beans and reserved liquid in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until the beans are heated through, about 2 minutes. Mash the beans coarsely with a potato masher. Stir in the lime juice and 1/4 tsp of the salt. Remove from the heat, cover to keep warm.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the poblano and red onion; cook until tender and lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the cumin and remaining 1/4 teaspoon sale; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Wipe the skillet clean.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil in the skillet over medium-high. Fry tortillas, 2 at a time, until crisp & golden brown, about 2 minutes per side, and add 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil after the second batch. Transfer the crisp tortillas to a wire rack.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the remaining 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil in the skillet; break the eggs into the skillet, and cook until the eggs detach from the bottom of the skillet, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer the eggs to a cutting board, and separate them gently with a knife.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of the bean mixture on each tostada. Top with 1 tablespoon of the poblano mixture and 1 egg. Serve with the pico de gallo, cilantro, quest fresco, avocado slices and lime wedges.
