Easy How-To

Get Ready!

Alright, first things first—gather all your ingredients like they’re planning a little party in your skillet! Chop the onion, dice the chilies, and you know, really get that garlic all minced up so it’s ready to go. It doesn’t take long, and trust me, the aroma will start flying around your kitchen!

Sauté Time!

Now, grab that skillet and drizzle in some olive oil over medium heat. Once it’s nice and warm—like, not too hot—add your chopped onion. Sauté until it turns that lovely translucent color, just about 3-4 minutes. Don’t rush it, those onions are laying the foundation, making everything delicious!

Tomato & Chili Mix

Next, toss in those elegant chopped tomatoes and your diced chilies. Stir it all around and let the tomatoes soften a bit; it should take about, hmm, 5-7 minutes. You wanna see those juices flowing! The colors will brighten up so beautifully, it’s almost too pretty to eat… almost!

Season It Up!

Now, sprinkle in your spices, like a pinch of cumin and, of course, salt and pepper to taste. Mix it really well to combine all those vibrant flavors. Just… take a second and smell that! Can you feel it? Yum!

Make Space for Eggs

Time to get fancy. With the back of your spoon, create little wells in the mixture—small little nests for your eggs to rest in. Make sure you’ve got enough space, it’ll really help them cook evenly!

Egg Cracking Time!

Here’s the fun part—crack an egg into each well you’ve made. You might want to hold your breath a little because, oh, the beauty of those yolks!

Let’s Cook

Cover that skillet with a lid. Let it do its thing for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the whites are set, but the yolks still stay beautifully runny. You’re gonna wanna serve these right off the stove; the aroma will be calling your name!

Serve It Up!

Once it’s cooked to perfection, garnish with fresh coriander or slices of avocado if you’re feeling fancy. Serve it hot, straight from the skillet—trust me, that’s the best way!
