Start Happy Huevos Rancheros Tart finished
We paired a sunny egg tart with the flavors of huevos rancheros to up the awesome points. The best part is that they only take a few ingredients, making this brunch dish easy like Sunday morning.
So, are you ready to rock your breakfast world? Let’s get crackin’!
Step 1: Gather the ingredients.
Step 2: Line a cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Separate Pillsbury crescent dough into 4 rectangles on cookie sheet. Firmly press perforations to seal. For each dough rectangle, roll edges toward center and form a 3 1/2-inch diameter round with a 1/2-inch rim. Press rim firmly to seal.
It’s a good idea to use a ruler to check the size of the dough round.
Step 3: Sprinkle a mixture of oregano, chipotle chili powder and salt over the dough rounds.
Step 4: Break 1 egg in center of each round. Don’t worry if some egg white runs over slightly. However, do be sure not to break the yolk.
Step 5: Bake until egg whites and yolks are firm, not runny.
Step 6: Meanwhile, make the sauce. Blend fire roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro and chipotle chili powder until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 7: Remove and reserve 3/4 cup sauce mixture from pan. Add black beans to remaining mixture in saucepan. Cook and stir until hot, mashing beans to slightly thicken.
Step 8: Serve each egg tart with some beans and sauce. Top with fresh cilantro and queso fresco cheese. Add a few slices of avocado and dig in.
