Description:
This Tex-Mex Breakfast recipe is perfect for brunch or when you’re craving a hearty, satisfying meal. It pairs wonderfully with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, crispy home fries, sizzling bacon, and flaky biscuits, making it ideal for those big appetites that need to be satisfied.
Ingredients:
- 2 smoked sausages
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 can refried beans
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Brown the Sausages: In a medium-sized cast iron skillet, brown the smoked sausages over medium heat until they are nicely caramelized and cooked through.
-
Cook the Eggs: While the sausages are cooking, beat the eggs in a bowl. Once the sausages are browned, pour the beaten eggs over them in the skillet. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste, then cover the skillet with a lid.
-
Set the Eggs: Reduce the heat to low and let the eggs cook slowly until they are set. This should take around 5-7 minutes, depending on your stove’s heat.
-
Add Refried Beans: Break the can of refried beans into small chunks and place them evenly on top of the set eggs in the skillet. Cover the skillet again and let the beans heat through for about 3 minutes.
-
Spread the Beans: Using a spatula, spread the refried beans evenly over the eggs until they cover the entire surface. It’s easier to spread them if you warm them first, so make sure they’re not too cold.
-
Prepare the Salsa Dressing: In a separate bowl, mix together the salsa and any desired dressing to create a flavorful topping for your Tex-Mex breakfast.
-
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the beans and eggs in the skillet, ensuring that every bite is packed with cheesy goodness.
-
Bake Until Melty: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), then transfer the skillet to the oven. Let it bake until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, which should take around 5-10 minutes.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheese is melted and gooey, remove the skillet from the oven. Serve your Tex-Mex Breakfast hot, alongside your favorite breakfast sides like crispy bacon, golden home fries, and flaky biscuits. Enjoy this delicious and satisfying meal with family and friends!
