Salsa Verde baked Eggs Recipe for amazing breakfast!

A few weeks ago we posted this salsa verde recipe. Try this for Salsa Verde baked Eggs Recipe for amazing breakfast.

While we were cooking in the kitchen on the day we made it and shot the photos, we decided to bake a few eggs in the salsa once it was done for a quick, easy lunch. 

The results were phenomenal and this salsa verde baked egg recipe was born. 

We recommend making a big batch of homemade salsa verde on repeat just so you can whip this dish up whenever the craving strikes.



Salsa Verde Eggs—4 Ingredients Never Tasted So Good.

Whether you make fresh salsa verde especially for this dish, have some leftover from that last taco party with friends, or grab some at the store, this easy baked egg recipe is as simple as they come. All you’ll need to make this fast, satisfying breakfast (or lunch or dinner!) is:

  • Eggs
  • Salsa verde
  • Tortillas
  • Cotija cheese
  • What’s the Difference Between Salsa and Salsa Verde?
  • While the ingredients vary a bit, there really isn’t a huge difference in terms of preparation between red salsa (salsa rojo) and green salsa (salsa verde). For this reason, we use the same method for making salsa verde as we do for our homemade restaurant-style salsa. The major distinction between salsa verde and salsa rojo is that rojo is made with (you guessed it!) red tomatoes while salsa verde is made with green tomatillos, which does change the flavor immensely. Are you familiar with tomatillos? Tomatillos are a small fruit hidden in a green husk. When ripe, they turn a greenish-yellowish color and are delicious for so many different kinds of salsas. 


Tips for Making Baked Eggs:

  • Baked eggs are so easy and quick to make. This recipe starts with a hot oven and a heavy, oven-safe pan—in other words, break out that cast iron skillet. We like to coat the pan with a thin layer of olive oil so our eggs don’t stick. Pour in the salsa verde and then carefully crack the eggs into the pan. Season with salt and pepper, then place in the oven. As the salsa verde warms, the heat will essentially poach the eggs in the salsa—YUM. 
  • When the whites are cooked, but the yolks are still runny...THIS is the perfect time to pull the eggs out! Enjoy them with a little cotija cheese and cilantro, served with tortillas or crusty bread. Perfection!

  • Method

  1. Heat oven to 400° F. Spray (or butter) a 10-inch oven safe skillet with cooking spray and pour in the salsa verde.
  2. Gently crack 2-4 eggs on top of the salsa. Season with salt and pepper. Place the skillet into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the egg whites are cooked, but the yolks are still runny.
  3. Remove the eggs from the oven and top them with Cotija cheese, cilantro and radishes serve immediately with warm corn tortillas or crusty bread.

Benefits of eggs 


Eggs are among the most nutritious foods on the planet.

A whole egg contains all the nutrients required to turn a single cell into a baby chicken.

A single large boiled egg contains :

  • Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA
  • Folate: 5% of the RDA
  • Vitamin B5: 7% of the RDA
  • Vitamin B12: 9% of the RDA
  • Vitamin B2: 15% of the RDA
  • Phosphorus: 9% of the RDA
  • Selenium: 22% of the RDA
  • Eggs also contain decent amounts of vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B6, calcium and zinc

This comes with 77 calories, 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of healthy fats.

Eggs also contain various trace nutrients that are important for health.

In fact, eggs are pretty much the perfect food. They contain a little bit of almost every nutrient you need.

If you can get your hands on pastured or omega-3 enriched eggs, these are even better.
