My friend Rachel loves Huevos Rancheros, which she calls Wavy Rancheroos. This breakfast pie is a nod to her favorite dish. You can use any combination of shredded cheese you'd like. I use Cabot 50% reduced-fat jalapeno.

Wavy Rancheroos baked until the crust is golden brown.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Spicy, flavorful, and very satisfying, this fluffly twist on Huevos Rancheros is great any time of the day. They're an easy breakfast or brunch, but they're hearty enough for a lighter dinner. The egg and cheese mixture is very creamy. We used a combination of shredded pepper Jack and shredded cheddar cheese for some flavor. Green chiles add a slight kick to the filling. Once baked, the top of the tortillas becomes nice and crispy. Serve with sour cream and salsa for a Mexican-inspired meal.
