Skillet Baked Huevos Rancheros

A simple, easy, and healthier twist on an all-time favorite

Huevos Rancheros. One of my favorite breakfast dishes. Super easy, delicious and healthy too! This dish is actually my family’s traditional Christmas morning breakfast. So I’ve decided to make it a year round thing. Usually we do all of it on the stove in different pots; eggs and salsa in a skillet and the beans in a sauce pan. I decided why not make it even easier? One pot? Done. Bake it? Absolutely. A skillet on the stove, throw it into the oven for 10 minutes and boom! No extra dishes, and best of all no worrying about those eggs on the stove. Simple! This dish is also a great way to use up any of those veggies just chillin in your crisper drawer in the fridge. Just mix them in with the beans! I like to do spinach, get some serious nutrition in there, but you can use whatever you’re feelin, or just skip it and stick to the bean basic.
