Fluff with a fork. Transfer to a platter; keep warm., Meanwhile, poach eggs by bringing 2-3 in. water to a boil in a large saucepan or skillet with high sides; adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Break cold eggs, one at a time, into a small bowl; holding bowl close to water surface, slip egg into water.

MEXICAN EGGS AND RICE

Steps:

• Reheat your cooked, leftover rice.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil or bacon grease in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Grate the cheddar so it will be ready when your eggs are.
• Fry the egg to the your preferred level of doneness. I really like it with the yolk still runny, so when you cut into the egg on your plate, the yolk mixes with the rice and salsa. This takes about 2 minutes cooking on the first side, then I flip it over and cook for about 20-30 seconds on the other side.
• Spoon the rice onto a plate.
• Top with the fried eggs.
• Immediately sprinkle the grated cheddar on top, then spoon on the salsa.
• If you are making more than one serving, you won't need to add the whole amount of oil to the skillet for the next servings, as some of the oil will still be in the pan.
• This is an easy weekday breakfast. On weekends when we want a bigger breakfast, we'll also warm up some canned black beans, and tortillas to serve on the side.

• Break 1 egg onto each quarter of rice mixture (the egg will sink into the rice). Cover; cook 7-9 minutes or until eggs are set and rice is tender. Sprinkle with pepper. Serve with warm tortillas.
