Eggs are begging to be smothered in salsa, whether it’s red or green, chunky or smooth, mild or hot, jarred or fresh. Slightly reminiscent of the role salsa plays in huevos rancheros and migas, this is the way to spice up your eggs, and we’re talking more than just heat. No need for chips or tortillas, unless you want them, of course. Do note, if your salsa is on the runny side, strain some of the liquid to keep it from adding too much moisture to the eggs.
Here are six egg-cellentideas to get you out of your egg rut:
If you’re making scrambled eggs, whisk in about 2 tablespoons salsa per egg.
Stuff a cheese omelet with salsa.
Stir salsa into an egg salad.
Top fried eggs with salsa.
Spoon salsa over poached eggs.
