Instructions:

  1. Sweat the Onion and Garlic:

    • In a small skillet over medium heat, sweat the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and aromatic.
  2. Add Salsa and Prepare Hotdogs:

    • Once the onions are translucent, add the salsa to the skillet. If using hotdogs, prepare them by slicing them into bite-sized pieces and adding them to the skillet as well.
  3. Cook the Eggs:

    • Crack the eggs directly over the onion, garlic, salsa, and hotdogs in the skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed until the whites are set and the yolks reach your desired doneness.
  4. Melt Cheese:

    • Arrange the sliced Monterey Jack pepper cheese over the cooked eggs. Cover the skillet with a lid to help melt the cheese until it’s gooey and delicious.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Carefully slide the entire contents of the skillet onto a plate. The melted cheese should cover the eggs and toppings beautifully. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful creation!
