Salsa Verde Baked Eggs is a vibrant and easy breakfast or brunch recipe featuring eggs baked in tangy and mildly spicy salsa verde. Topped with crumbly cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, and radishes, this dish pairs perfectly with warm tortillas or toasted crusty bread for a satisfying and flavorful start to your day.

Ingredients

Eggs and Salsa

  • 1 cup salsa verde, store bought or homemade
  • 4 large eggs
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • ¼ cup cotija cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
  • 2 radishes, thinly sliced (optional)

Serving

  • Warmed tortillas or toasted crusty bread
  • Lime wedges (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure an even cooking temperature for baking the eggs.
  2. Prepare the baking dish: Pour the salsa verde into a small baking dish or cast iron skillet, spreading it into an even layer.
  3. Add the eggs: Carefully crack the eggs one by one over the salsa verde, spacing them evenly to prevent them from merging. Season each egg with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  4. Bake the eggs: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, or cook to your preferred doneness.
  5. Add toppings: Remove the dish from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cotija cheese evenly over the baked eggs. Add fresh cilantro leaves and thinly sliced radishes if using, to add color and fresh flavor.
  6. Serve: Serve the baked eggs warm with warmed tortillas or toasted crusty bread on the side. Offer lime wedges for squeezing over the top to add a bright and zesty finish to the dish.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spiciness by choosing a mild or spicy salsa verde according to your preference.
  • For creamier eggs, cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake.
  • Substitute cotija cheese with feta or queso fresco if unavailable.
  • This dish can be doubled or tripled to serve more people by using a larger baking dish.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or microwave, although best enjoyed fresh.
