    Why Make this Recipe

    1. Fast Breakfast: I love this breakfast because it’s different from what I normally make and it is SO quick to throw together! 
    2. Made with Things Already in Your Home: Let’s admit it… we all have a jar of salsa floating around in the back of our fridge. It stays good forever, so why not?! This recipe is a great way to use up that extra jar. Plus, the additional 2 tablespoons of salsa gives so much flavor to your favorite egg meal. 
    3. Healthy: I’m not normally one to count calories (I think this is the first time I’ve ever mentioned them on my site….) but just in case you’re curious: this meal is a great way to enjoy a healthy breakfast! In fact, there’s only 170 calories in the entire dish. How’s that for protein + flavor? 

    What Ingredients are in this Recipe? 

    1. Eggs: I always like using fresh eggs if I can find them, as they have sooo much more flavor than store-bought eggs! You can use whatever you normally keep in the fridge at home. 
    2. Salsa: You can make salsa from scratch, or use a store bought version. If making salsa from scratch, consider this delicious Pico de Gallo! It may be best to use a waterier salsa, as this will give more liquid for the egg to be poached in.  

    How to Make this Recipe

    Raw eggs in watery salsa

    Spray the bottom of a small frying pan with nonstick spray. 

    Add the salsa and water into the pan and put it on the stove on a low heat. Allow the layer of liquid to come to a boil. Use a spoon or a spatula to clear two pockets in the salsa. Crack one egg into each of these holes. 

    Cooked eggs in salsa

    Use a spoon to pour the hot water/salsa from around the egg over the yolk. The heat of this liquid should cook the top of the eggs while the bottom is cooking in the pan. Alternate between spooning liquid over the eggs, and putting the lid on the pan until the egg white has cooked on top and bottom of the eggs but the yolk is still runny. 

    Remove the eggs and salsa from the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread. Enjoy!
