Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 corn tortilla soft
- 4 egg large
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped, fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon za'atar spice blend optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 'Warm' In a medium skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Using cooking tongs, add two tortillas to the pan and swirl around in the oil, coating both sides. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Flip tortillas and immediately crack an egg onto each tortilla. The hot tortilla will begin to cook the egg. I also pop the yolk with a spatula here, but you don't have to. Cook for 1 minute.
- Using a spatula, carefully flip the tortillas and eggs together to finish cooking the egg. About 30 seconds. Transfer to two plates and keep fried egg tostadas warm in the oven.
- Repeat steps 1-4 with the remaining tortillas and eggs.
- Garnish four plates of fried egg tostadas with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro and a sprinkling of za'atar, if you like. Serve at once.
