Why Do My Egg Yolks Look Super-Orange in Color?
I use Pasture Raise Eggs!
Free range hens that have access to green, grassy pastures tend to lay eggs with darker yolks than their caged counterparts.
This too increases the color of the egg yolk, but also the nutrition that a consumer receives.
These pasture-raised eggs usually have nice orange yolks (the ones I use) but can be on the yellow side, can vary throughout the seasons.
These eggs contain double the amount of vitamin E and long-chain omega-3 fats. More than twice the amount of total omega-3 fatty acids.
Use the Toppings you like!
In the Mexican recipe: Huevos Rancheros – you might find the addition of refried beans, salsa and queso fresco cheese
Want beautifully round fried eggs?
Use pastry rings! Just brush the insides with a little oil and add to a cast iron pan – crack eggs in the middle and cook until set.
The Method:
-
Cook eggs in your seasoned cast iron skillet – brushed with a small amount of oil
-
Cook eggs until just set (will not be fully cooked) Remove partially cooked eggs from their rings and cast iron skillet.
-
YES – you can cook the eggs without the rings!!
-
Add tortillas to the skillet top each with some grated Mexican cheeses – top with the egg – sprinkle some more cheese around the whites
-
Place in your preheated oven and cook until the eggs are set how you like them and the cheese is bubbly
-
Add your toppings and drizzle with my Bloody Mary Hot Sauce!
Go ahead and drizzle this zesty homemade hot sauce on your tacos!
Enjoy!
