Hearty Breakfast for Two


This is a South Beach recipe and it is very tasty. I have a problem eating eggs for breakfast but the beans help. It is a hardy start to the day and healthy to boot. Preparation time is 10-15 minutes.


Huevos Rancheros


3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 small red bell pepper, sliced

1/2 small yellow onion, thinly sliced

3/4 cup prepared salsa

1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed

2 eggs

4 tablespoons shredded low-fat cheddar cheese, divided


Instructions

Warm 2 teaspoons of the oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pepper and onion; cook

5 minutes, until softened and slightly charred, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low.

Add salsa and beans; cook 1 minute, stirring to coat and blend. Push bean mixture to sides of pan.

Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to middle of pan. Break eggs into middle of pan. Cook to desired

doneness, sprinkling 2 tablespoons cheese over each egg in last 30 seconds of cooking. Transfer

eggs to serving plates; spoon bean salsa over top.
