SPANISH STYLE MIGAS WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Fry the eggs: In a separate large non-stick skillet over low heat, add the olive oil and heat for 1 minute. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cover the pan with a lid. Cook, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until all but a thin rim of egg white around each yolk is opaque. Remove the lid.

EGGS MEIGAS STYLE

Steps:

• In a large roasting pan, or the bottom of a smoker, place a single layer of soaked wood chips. Place a 2-inch perforated pan or grill insert on top of the wood chips. Place the sliced tomatoes on top of the perforated pan or grill insert. Cover with foil, or the top of the smoker. Place on top of a burner, on medium heat. Smoke for 15 minutes. Remove tomato slices from pan and set aside.
• In a non-stick pan, cook the eggs sunnyside up. Put eggs on a cookie sheet and cover each with a layer of poblano peppers, grilled red onion, and smoked tomatoes. Cover with Monterey Jack. Cook in oven until cheese is melted. Transfer to platter and garnish with cilantro.

MIGAS RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut the corn tortillas into small squares, about 1½ in. wide. You can use a knife or a pair of kitchen scissors to cut them.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Once it is hot, place the tortilla pieces in the oil and fry them until they are golden brown. Make sure to use a frying pan that is large enough, in order to not overcrowd the pan. Stir and turn the tortilla pieces as needed until they acquire a golden-brown color. This step will take about 6 minutes.
• Return the frying pan to the stove and place it over medium heat. Add the chopped white onion and lightly fry it for a few seconds, then stir in the chopped serrano pepper. Keep cooking for about 2 minutes.
• Add the chopped tomato and cook for about 3 more minutes, then add the eggs. Let the eggs start to cook without stirring them yet.
• Once the egg whites start to look cooked around the edges, gently stir the eggs. Once you see the egg yolks start to cook, stir in the tortilla chips, season with salt, and gently mix them together with the eggs. When the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the frying pan from the heat. The tortillas should still be crispy by the time you serve your migas. Do not wait until the eggs are cooked to add the tortilla chips. Remember that the eggs will keep cooking even after you remove the frying pan from the heat.
