No one says you can only eat eggs as breakfast, and good thing because I really wanted a big breakfast-dinner and oh these baked Huevos Rancheros sure hit the spot.
I baked the eggs in tortillas in a cupcake pan and will be doing it more often. These will be great for my kids to reheat in the morning for a quick breakfast. Great for when they are on the go.
Oh how I love these beautiful Brown Land O Lakes Eggs. I purchased the Cage Free Variety and look how carefully they are packed with a clear insert to hug all the eggs!

Eggs
Corn tortillas
Heat tortillas in microwave for 10 seconds to soften them so they are pliable to be able to fit into cupcake pan.
Spray the cupcake pan so that it is lightly oiled.
Place one 4 inch tortilla into each well of the cupcake pan.
Crack one egg and place it into each well of the cupcake pan.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes until desired firmness.
*Carefully remove from hot pan and serve with chopped scallions.
*I like that it’s easy to bake a dozen eggs at a time, or just a few if that is all that is needed.
To fit the tortillas into the pan they may rip a bit, but the tortillas laid nicely when filled with egg and I didn’t end up with any messes. The tortillas fit snug into the pan.
If you are unable to find 4 inch tortillas, you can cut larger tortillas to that size so they fit in the pan nicely.
Serve with Mexican Rice and Beans along with avocado and diced tomato or chili sauce.
Here are the two other recipes I created for Land O Lakes Eggs:
I love this Mexican Rice Recipe. When serving it with these eggs I omitted the chicken and beans.
I was compensated for this recipe, although all opinions are my own. Those are priceless.
