Pro Tips

Tip: Prepare recipe with Queso Fresco instead of the feta cheese if desired.

Tip: For heartier appetites, serve tortillas topped with 2 fried eggs.

Fresh eggs produce the best-looking fried eggs – a compact oval with a thick white and a high centered yolk.

For neater shape, break eggs into custard cup first, rather than directly into the pan. Hold cup close to surface of pan and slip egg from cup into pan.

Heat matters. If heat is too high, eggs will become tough and rubbery. Gentle heat preserves nutrients and allows for even cooking.
