My Dad came last weekend. We went to the Farmer's Market down in Houston on Saturday morning, then we took long naps and got up Saturday evening and went swimming. Sunday morning Dad made breakfast for me. This is his method for migas, the ingredients are standard, it is the technique that is unique and makes these a really special.
In a small skillet warm oil/butter.
Add two corn tortillas, torn into small pieces
Warm the tortillas through
Add 2 tablespoons diced green chilis
Add 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese
Don't stir, you want layers.
Crack two eggs and place carefully on top of the pile
Cover with a lid, lower the heat and wait
When eggs cooks to your liking (whites cooked, yolks runny for me)
pull the whole thing out with a spatula and place on a warm plate, add salt/pepper
Note - this method takes longer than normally cooking an egg, because you are steaming the egg. You need to use fresh corn tortillas and either green chilis or salsa because you need the moisture to steam the eggs.
Deliciousness. This solves the whole issue of how I like migas but they are always made with scrambled eggs, this lets you have that awesome yolky fried egg goodness and migas at the same time. The tortillas on bottom get crispy, the ones on top are just softened - it is very very good. Try it!
