Cooking Instructions

Preheat the broiler. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the jalapeño and stir to coat with the butter. Add the spinach and sauté for 2 minutes or just until the spinach wilts. Season to taste with salt. Place the spinach mixture in a fine sieve to drain any excess moisture from the spinach.

Meanwhile heat a flat griddle pan over medium-high heat. Working with one tortilla at a time cook the tortillas for 2 minutes on each side or until they are hot and slightly crisp (do not allow the tortillas to become too crisp at this point since they will continue to crisp under the broiler). Set 2 tortillas on each of 2 heavy large baking sheets. Lay 2 slices of ham on each tortilla overlapping slightly. Spoon the spinach atop the ham dividing equally.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on the griddle pan over medium-high heat. Crack 4 eggs into the pan spacing them evenly apart and cook for 2 minutes or until the whites are set and beginning to brown around the edges. Using a spatula carefully set 2 eggs atop the spinach and ham on each tortilla. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 4 eggs.

Sprinkle the eggs with the cheese and broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until the egg whites are set on top and the cheese melts. Transfer to plates and serve with the hot sauce.

Could be better!

I like this recipe a lot but I think it could be a little better! I personally don't like the jalapenos or spinach in there. My friend turned me on to this website where the have a recipe called "eggs caliente". It's SO good... it has refried beans, salsa, eggs, and cheese. Its perfect. The website it www.cookingforbimbos.com!

Good Stuff!

I've tried this recipe and variations on it this weekend. It's a great menu item that you can tailor to you own tatstes. I prefer spicier ingredients, but you can go either way. Mixing up different cheese flavors really changes the taste and any kind of sausage or meat adds good taste!

Variation

I substituted sliced turkey for ham, scrambled eggs, added sauteed mushrooms and a little crumbled bacon, and removedthe jalepenos. The tortilla was crispy, so it ended up a little like a "breakfast pizza." Still very tasty, though, and a intersting twist on the usual "breakfast burrito."

Don't Bother With The Bit@hes Cookbook

I reviewed the site and some of the recipes. As a Chef, I can tell you that the cookbook is amateurish and worthless, at best. There are recipes in there that I wouldn't make for my dog! Don't bother.

Here's an easy, reliable way to ensure a moist and flavorful turkey...simply baste the turkey with chicken stock during roasting. When the turkey is done, use a bit more stock to make a quick and tasty gravy.
