This dish spells out Farmer’s Eggs and is a popular dish from Mexico. My version of this dish uses Whole Grain English muffins, well-done fried eggs and smothered avocadoes. I love avocadoes, I can slice them and eat them plain. Start off this dish with a good base, I have seen variations of this recipe with soft tortillas, crispy tortillas, bread slices etc. I find the size of an english muffin just perfect to hold a single fried egg and all the delicious toppings. This also allows for folks to indulge in Seconds and Thirds… which in our home is very common with 2 growing boys !
The spread on the top is a mix of flavors we enjoy – combination of spicy mustard, ketchup and tahini. Go wild with your own imagination, anything soggy on top finishes this dish with all its creamy goodness. Simple salsa or pico di galla will also work to keep it very authentic.
Here’s waking up to a healthy breakfast !
