Skillet Huevos Rancheros

I’m not sure if I’ve ever ranted about breakfast in our household before. Hubby and toddler share one view of breakfast. I have a completely different view.

You see, my boys have sweet teeth. When asked what they want for breakfast, guaranteed the answer is always something along the lines of pancakes or waffles. Me on the other hand? Give me savory, give me vegetables, give me eggs, give me leftover Vietnamese food. Give me anything BUT pancakes or waffles.

Huevos rancheros have everything I ever dream of in breakfast. Vegetables, proteins and NOT sweet. Yes please. When I came across a recipe for an easy skillet version of huevos rancheros at Real Simple, I just knew.

This dish is so simple to make, and would be delicious served over roasted potatoes for another gluten free option. Adjust the toppings to your taste: grated cheddar, sliced avocado, sour cream, cilantro (of course I would never condone the use of cilantro, but if it’s your cup of tea, well then I can’t stop you).
