Baked Huevos Rancheros
Description
This recipe for Baked Huevos Rancheros layers chunky salsa with black beans, baby spinach, and grated Monterey Jack cheese in an oven-safe skillet. Creating wells in the mixture for eggs allows them to bake gently at 375°F, producing tender whites with slightly runny yolks. The warmth of the skillet softens the tortillas wrapped in foil alongside, ready for assembling the dish.
The combination of savory salsa, creamy cheese, and fresh vegetables supports the mild flavor and texture of the eggs well, while topping with chopped avocado and fresh cilantro adds freshness and richness. Lime wedges and optional hot sauce provide bright accents that can be added to taste.
Adjusting the spice level is possible by choosing salsa varieties from mild to hot. Tossing chopped avocado with lime juice ahead of time prevents browning and keeps it fresh for serving.
