Southwestern Cheesy Eggs Recipes

SOUTHWESTERN EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• For the sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, granulated garlic, onion powder, avocado, 2 tablespoons water, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the dill and parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. The texture should be similar to ranch salad dressing. (If the sauce is very thick, thin it out with 1 to 2 tablespoons of additional water.) Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the egg rolls: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until deep grill marks appear, about 8 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until deep grill marks appear and the internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F, about 8 minutes more. Remove to a cutting board, allow to cool slightly and cut into small pieces.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the beans, corn, spinach, cumin, chipotle powder, cayenne, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables and beans are coated in the spices and warmed through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and fold in the chicken, pickled jalapenos, parsley and scallions. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
• Stack the tortillas on a large microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave until just warmed though. (This will make the tortillas easier to roll.) Put a warm tortilla on a clean, flat surface (keep the remaining tortillas covered with the damp paper towels) and put 1/2 cup of the filling in the center. Spread the filling out into a 4 1/2-inch long log. Tightly fold the bottom of the tortilla (the part that is closest to you) over the filling, fold both ends over then roll the tortilla so that the filling is completely enclosed. Seal the seam of the tortilla with 3 toothpicks. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, filling and toothpicks.
• Meanwhile, attach a deep-fat fry thermometer to the side of a large Dutch oven or pot, fill halfway with oil and heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the egg rolls in 2 batches until golden brown all over, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the toothpicks from the egg rolls, cut on an extreme bias and transfer to a large platter. Serve with the avocado dipping sauce.

SOUTHWESTERN EGG BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish. In medium skillet, brown sausage with onion and bell pepper. Drain.
• Arrange potatoes in bottom of greased baking dish. Top with 1/2 of the cheese, all of the sausage mixture and the remaining cheese.
• In small bowl, beat eggs slightly. Beat in milk. Pour over mixture in dish. Cover with foil.
• Bake at 350°F. for 1 hour. Uncover; bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve topped with salsa.

SUNNY'S PERFECT SCRAMBLED CHEESY EGGS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick pan with sloped sides (even a wok shape works), melt the butter over medium-low heat, being careful to not brown the butter. If it begins to bubble, the heat is too high, so lower the heat to cook the eggs properly. (Slow and low like BBQ is the way to go with eggs.)
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the eggs and 1 teaspoon cold water. Vigorously whisk until frothy and smooth. Swirl the pan around to coat the butter on the bottom and up the sides. Pour the eggs into the pan and let sit for a few seconds. When the eggs begin to lightly set on the bottom, use the whisk to gently beat the eggs, then allow them to sit for just a few seconds between beating them again. Curds will begin to form and increase throughout the cooking time. Repeat this process of whisking then resting the eggs for a few seconds until about 50 percent of the eggs are set and the rest are still wet. At this point, sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to whisk and rest alternately. Once the eggs are 75 percent done, add the cheese and from this moment, continue to whisk the eggs until done. This entire process from pouring in the eggs to them being finished should take 8 to 12 minutes; this isn't a race, only a journey to the best scrambled eggs ever. Remove from the heat and continue to scramble in the last seconds. Serve warm.

Make four wells in the hash; break an egg into each. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until the eggs are completely set. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

SOUTHWESTERN SAUSAGE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 by 13 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
• In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up. Cook just until it is begins to brown.
• Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the meat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about five to seven minutes.
• While the vegetalbes are cooking, whisk the eggs. To the eggs, add milk, heavy cream, green chiles, salsa and salt. Then stir in 1 1/2 cup cheese, and the bread. Mix to combine.
• When the vegetable and meat mixture is ready, drain the excess grease from the pan, and add it to the egg mixture. Pour everything into the prepared pan and top with 1 cup cheese.
• If you used dry bread, you can bake it right away, if you used fresh, let the casserole soak overnight. Read more about this here.
• Bake for 60 minutes and 15 minutes uncovered, or until the eggs are set - when the casserole starts to pull away from the side of the casserole dish and you can stick a knife in the middle of the dish and not see excess moisture. (Please note that if you started with dry bread and didn't need to refrigerate the casserole overnight, you will only need to bake it for 50 minutes before uncovering it and baking it for the final 15 minutes.)
• Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes before cutting into it.
