Eggs poached in a traditional Tomato-Jalapeno salsa can do wonders for grumpy mornings!

Ingredients
- 4 tomatoes
- 2 jalapeños (serranos will work too)
- 1/2 white onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 10-12 sprigs cilantro
- 6 eggs
- 2-3 cups chicken stock (or veggie stock)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- Cilantro for garnish (optional)
- 2-3 Hatch chiles (optional)
Instructions
- Roast the tomatoes and jalapenos in the oven at 400F for 15-20 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, jalapenos (de-stemmed), 1/2 white onion, 2 cloves garlic, and 10-12 sprigs cilantro to a blender. Pulse blend until you have a thick liquid.
- Add a dollop of oil (or lard) to a high-rimmed saucepan. Saute the salsa mixture from the blender until slightly thickened, 4-6 minutes.
- Add 2-3 cups of stock and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer. Salt to taste.
- Cracking the eggs in individual bowls makes it easier to slide them into the broth. Add the eggs to salsa mixture.
- Cook the eggs 4-6 minutes for runny yolks, or a couple minutes longer for firm yolks.
- Serve the eggs in bowls along with plenty of the salsa broth. Taste for seasoning and garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
- Corn tortillas, toast, or crispy quesadillas are all good options to dip into the delicious broth.
Notes
- While traditionally made using chicken stock, any stock will do in this recipe.
- Be sure to serve with lots of the salsa mixture, it's delicious!
- The exact amount of stock you need to add will depend on the pan you're using. Just ensure the liquid is deep enough for the eggs to poach in.
- I've been adding 2-3 roasted Hatch chiles to this recipe recently, but that is optional. You can roast them along with the tomatoes and then de-stem, de-seed, and pull off as much skin as you can before adding them to the blender.
