Baked Huevos Rancheros

My kids have requested breakfast for dinner again tonight. They want huevos rancheros. This is a great mexican breakfast dish. Warm corn tortillas are topped with refried beans, fried eggs, warm salsa and cheese. They're delicious but I wondered if I could accomplish the dish with less fat and fewer pots. I think this will fit the bill and with the fat I removed from the cooking process,I can have a couple pieces of bacon on the side. Yippee!!!!

Serve with fresh melon and bacon

Serves 4

4 corn tortillas
1 16 oz can of refried beans
1 24oz jarred salsa
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese or cotija cheese
8 eggs
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Set 4 12 oz ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and spray them with cooking spray. Pour a 1/3 cup of salsa into each ramekin. Crack 2 eggs over the salsa in each ramekin and sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place another spoonful of salsa over the eggs. Place in the heated oven and bake for 24-28 minutes(yolks should still be soft). Meanwhile, heat a griddle over the stove and place the tortillas on it to warm and soften them. Place the refried beans in a saucepan and heat those through. Remove the eggs from the oven. Place a tortilla on a plate. Top with a spoonful of refried beans. Place 2 eggs with the salsa on top and top all with the cheese. Serve.
