Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 Soft corn tortillas
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon za'atar optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 'Warm' In a medium skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Using cooking tongs, add two tortillas to the pan and swirl around in the oil, coating both sides. Cook for 30 seconds.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Repeat steps 1-4 with the remaining tortillas and eggs.
  6. Garnish four plates of fried egg tostadas with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro and a sprinkling of za'atar, if you like. Serve at once.

Notes

  • Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, fresh lime, hot sauce, microgreens, greek yogurt, chopped chives
