Egg Tostada Recipes

Steps:

• Spray a small pan with cooking spray. Heat on medium for 1 minute, add tortilla, heat for about 30 seconds and turn over.
• Spoon sauce and salsa over tortilla.
• Crack egg over sauce (sunny side up-style). Cover. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until white is firm and yolk is soft-set.
• Top with Cheese and cover for 1 minute, until cheese is melted.
• Put on a plate and allow to cool for a few minutes. Tortilla will be crispy, and will be easiest to eat with your hands, like a pizza.

Steps:

• Chop the tomatoes and place in a mixing bowl. Add the red onion, scallions, jalapenos, and cilantro. Dress with lime juice and salt and toss to combine. Let stand until ready to use.
• Preheat a 10 to 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat with extra-virgin olive oil. Also preheat the broiler with the rack positioned in the middle of the oven.
• To the hot oil add the bacon and render, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions and red chilies and cook about 4 to 5 minutes to soften them. Beat the eggs with the hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Lightly crush the tortillas and add them to the pan, pour the eggs overtop, and stir to combine. Settle the eggs and lightly brown them, then transfer the pan to the center of the oven and broil the eggs for 6 to 7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the spicy vegetarian refried beans with a splash of water to thin them out.
• Shred the cheeses with a box grater and combine.
• Remove the eggs from the oven and spread the refried beans overtop, stopping 1-inch from the edge all around. Top with shredded cheese and pickled jalapenos and return to the oven for 1 to 2 more minutes to melt the cheese. Remove the egg tostada-frittata from the oven and top it with shredded lettuce. Lightly drain off the tomato water from the tomato mixture and mound the salsa over the lettuce. Serve extra salsa at the table.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook, turning halfway through, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, add the vegetable oil, black beans, a pinch of salt and pepper and some hot sauce. Heat until warmed through, mashing the beans with a fork.
• On a baking sheet, layer: 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans and 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted completely and the edges of the tostadas are beginning to turn golden, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg and cook until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
• To serve, transfer the tostada to a plate, top with the fried egg, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream, a sprinkle of the remaining cheese and the cilantro. Place the bacon on the side and enjoy.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack to the center of the oven and preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, coat 8 cups of the muffin tin generously with cooking spray. Crack an egg into each, sprinkle with salt and broil until the tops are golden brown and the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes (a small knife inserted into the egg helps to check doneness). Remove the muffin tin from the oven and set aside.
• While the eggs are cooking, put the refried beans in a small bowl, cover and microwave until hot, about 2 minutes. Dice the avocado. Slice the roasted red peppers into strips.
• Arrange 2 tostadas on each of 4 plates. Spoon and spread some of the beans on each tostada. Use a small off-set spatula or spoon to scoop out the eggs from the muffin tin and place one, browned-side down, on top of each tostada. Spoon salsa verde over each egg and top with roasted pepper, avocado and cheese.

Steps:

• Scramble egg substitute with ham.
• Place tortillas on broiler pan, top each one with 1/2 of the cheese, 1/2 of egg/ham mixture, 1/2 of baked beans.
• Broil 3 in under broiler until cheese is melted and eggs etc are warm.
• Transfer to serving plate, top with salsa and slice into forths.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Fry chorizo in medium skillet over medium-high heat until meat is cooked through and fat is rendered, about 10 minutes. Drain off all fat from skillet. Add beans to chorizo and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until onion is soft, about 4 minutes. Arrange tostadas on baking sheet. Spread 1/3 cup bean-chorizo mixture on each tostada. Top with onion. Place in oven to keep warm.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over high heat. Drop in eggs 1 at a time. Fry over medium-high heat until whites are firm but yolks are still tender, about 1 minute per side. Using metal spatula, place 1 egg on each tostada; top with salsa, avocado, and cheese.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat together egg whites, 1/4 cup reduced-fat Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup salsa.
• In a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, brown both sides of the tortilla. Remove from heat.
• In the same skillet over medium-high heat, scramble the egg white mixture until no longer runny.
• Top tortilla with the scrambled egg mixture, remaining cheese and remaining salsa. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• 1. Make the tostada. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low. Once the pan is warm, add the oil. Crack the egg where the oil pools, using a silicone spatula to pull in the whites of the egg. If the whites of the egg begin to bubble, turn the heat down further or pull the pan off the heat for a second. Cook for 1 minute, and then spoon the oil in the pan over the whites of the egg until cooked through. Carefully remove the egg from the pan. Set aside.
• 2. Add the corn tortilla to the leftover oil in the same pan. Turn the heat up to medium, and fry the tortilla for about 2 minutes on each side until toasted. In another corner of the pan, reheat the refried black beans until warm.
• 3. To serve, place the pan-fried tortilla on a plate, and top with a shmear of refried black beans. Garnish with the avocado slices, the sunnyside egg, pickled vegetables, Ancho-lada Sauce, alfalfa sprouts, if desired, cilantro, and cotija. Give it a fresh squeeze of lime, and serve immediately.
• Notes.
• Optional add-in: Use up leftover cooked bacon in the freezer. Reheat the bacon with the beans, crumble it, and use it on top of the tostada.
• Ingredient Tip.
• You'll notice cotija cheese used throughout the book. I love it for two reasons-a little goes a long way and it doesn't require dirtying a grater.
• For the Pickled red onions:.
• Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. In a pint-sized Ball jar with measurements or a glass bowl, add the vinegar, sugar, salt, and peppercorns. Add the boiling water to the vinegar mixture. Stir until the ?salt and sugar have dissolved. Submerge the sliced onion in the pickling solution and let sit for at least 30 minutes. This can be done up to 3 weeks in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
• For the Ancho-lada sauce:.
• In a high-powered blender, measure the hot water using the ticks on the side of the blender container. Add the chiles and submerge. Let sit for 10 minutes. Once reconstituted, add the remaining sauce ingredients. Blend on high until smooth. This yields 4 cups. It can be made up to a month in advance and stored covered in the fridge.
