Ranch Style Eggs: Huevos Rancheros

July 27, 2020July 29, 2020 Tony1081Leave a Comment on Ranch Style Eggs: Huevos Rancheros

This dish is very popular among those who imbibed a bit too much the night before and find themselves paying the consequences the next morning (i.e. good cure for a hangover). It also makes for a great alternative to Sunday morning’s Eggs Benedict. Ingredients: 1/2 C. oil 4 eggs 4 corn tortillas 2 tomatoes, boiled […]

“Royal Eggs” custard dessert: Huevos reales

July 27, 2020November 7, 2021 Tony1589Leave a Comment on “Royal Eggs” custard dessert: Huevos reales

This is typical of the desserts prepared in the Colonial-era convents, most of which have been handed down and made just as they were then. The fact that it is milk-free makes it a good dessert for those who can’t eat dairy products.   For the custard 3 egg whites 12 egg yolks ¼ teaspoon […]

Sweet Potato Flan: Flan de Camote

July 27, 2020June 1, 2021 Tony2202Leave a Comment on Sweet Potato Flan: Flan de Camote

One of the reasons I like using sweet potatoes in dessert is that it really makes for a guilt-free experience when their nutritional properties are considered. Not many other dessert ingredients can claim such high levels of vitamins and antioxidants. This flan keeps well for up to two days in the refrigerator, making it a […]

Mexican honey flan: Flan de miel

July 27, 2020 Tony1510Leave a Comment on Mexican honey flan: Flan de miel

Honey lovers get a double dose of flavor in this Mexican honey flan, because it uses honey instead of caramelized sugar in the glaze, as well as honey in the custard. 3 beaten eggs 1 cup whole milk ½ cup evaporated milk ½ cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Preheat oven to 325º F. Combine […]

Sauteed apples and eggs: Huevos zacatlantecos

July 27, 2020 Tony2294Leave a Comment on Sauteed apples and eggs: Huevos zacatlantecos

After the Virgen de la Asuncion has been raised up from her bed of apples, a little bit every hour throughout the night, the faithful make their way home in the wee hours with bags of apples from her bed. This apple and egg dish is a traditional breakfast at this time of year. Ingredients […]

Huitlacoche Omelet: Omelette de huitlacoche

July 27, 2020 Tony2526Leave a Comment on Huitlacoche Omelet: Omelette de huitlacoche

This is a good dish for company brunch because the filling can be prepared in advance and the whole thing put together at the last minute. The following filling makes enough for four two-egg omelets. Serve with hot corn tortillas and a selection of salsas. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 medium white onion, peeled and […]

Mexican Dried Beef with Eggs: Machaca con Huevos

July 27, 2020 Tony2352Leave a Comment on Mexican Dried Beef with Eggs: Machaca con Huevos

The cattlemen of the north made meat easy to carry on the trail by drying it. Tastier than other versions of beef jerky, the meat is first marinated, then cooked, shredded and dried. It can be served in tacos, burritos and in scrambled eggs. This version of breakfast burritos was taught to me by the […]

Eggs In Green Salsa: Huevos Al Albañil

July 27, 2020August 22, 2020 Tony1846Leave a Comment on Eggs In Green Salsa: Huevos Al Albañil

Huevos al Albañil literally means “bricklayer’s eggs”, but I have yet to find anyone who can tell me the origin of the name. It is very popular as a brunch dish in Central Mexico, where the cool mornings call for hearty, spicey fare. Ingredients: 1 pound tomatillos, husked 1 medium white onion, peeled and quartered 4 […]
