- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro, chopped
Main Ingredients
- 2 Free Range Eggs
- 2 Small Corn Tortillas
Other Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Olive Oil, divided
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 tablespoon Chicken Bouillon Powder
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Fry the Tortillas: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the small corn tortillas one at a time until they are crisp and golden, similar to tostadas. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce Base: Dice the tomatoes, serrano chilies, white onion, and garlic. Place all these ingredients along with the chopped cilantro into a pot and begin to simmer over medium heat.

- Fry the Eggs: In a separate pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Crack and fry the free range eggs sunny side up until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- Assemble the Dish: Place the crispy tostadas on serving plates. Carefully place one sunny side up egg on each tostada.
- Add the Sauce: Spoon the warm homemade tomato and chili sauce over the eggs and tostadas, ensuring a vibrant and flavorful topping.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor in the sauce.
- Adjust the serrano chili quantity for your preferred spice level.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken bouillon powder with vegetable bouillon powder.
