Sunnys Salsa Eggs Recipes

SUNNY'S DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a pot and cover with water by 1-inch and bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit in the hot water for 15 minutes. Immediately, drain and rinse under cold water. Peel the eggs, slice in half lengthwise and remove yolks to a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest and pickled jalapenos to the yolks, using a fork to mash together and incorporate. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Scoop the filling into the egg white pockets of each egg and sprinkle with onions and smoked paprika. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

SUNNY'S DEVILISH EGGS

Steps:

• Halve the eggs, scoop the yolks into a medium bowl and reserve the whites. In the bowl with the yolks, stir together the sour cream, adobo, jalapenos and jalapeno juice. Mix with a rubber spatula until everything is as smooth as possible. Taste and season with salt. Scoop an even amount of the yolk filling into the recess of each egg half. Top each egg with a cilantro leaf.
• In a small dry pan, toast the paprika over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until a waft to your face brings a wave of smoky paprika love, about 4 minutes. Pour the paprika into a small bowl and stir in the agave syrup. Drizzle the syrup over the top of the filled eggs. Sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips over the top and serve.

SUNNY'S PERFECT SCRAMBLED CHEESY EGGS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick pan with sloped sides (even a wok shape works), melt the butter over medium-low heat, being careful to not brown the butter. If it begins to bubble, the heat is too high, so lower the heat to cook the eggs properly. (Slow and low like BBQ is the way to go with eggs.)
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the eggs and 1 teaspoon cold water. Vigorously whisk until frothy and smooth. Swirl the pan around to coat the butter on the bottom and up the sides. Pour the eggs into the pan and let sit for a few seconds. When the eggs begin to lightly set on the bottom, use the whisk to gently beat the eggs, then allow them to sit for just a few seconds between beating them again. Curds will begin to form and increase throughout the cooking time. Repeat this process of whisking then resting the eggs for a few seconds until about 50 percent of the eggs are set and the rest are still wet. At this point, sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to whisk and rest alternately. Once the eggs are 75 percent done, add the cheese and from this moment, continue to whisk the eggs until done. This entire process from pouring in the eggs to them being finished should take 8 to 12 minutes; this isn't a race, only a journey to the best scrambled eggs ever. Remove from the heat and continue to scramble in the last seconds. Serve warm.

SUNNY'S MIGAS VERDES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously. Set aside.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the tortilla strips and cook, stirring and tossing, until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chiles and onion to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs to the pan, season with salt and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring to scramble and combine, until most of the moisture is cooked out, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the salsa verde.
• Serve topped with the cheese. Garnish with the avocado, cilantro, scallions and a drizzle of crema.

BAKED EGGS WITH SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly oil or spray a medium nonstick skillet with an ovenproof handle.
• Spoon salsa into the pan.
• Lightly press down salsa to make 4 evenly spaced shallow nests and break an egg into each.
• Add green onions and season eggs with salt and pepper.
• Bake about 15 minutes or until the egg whites are cooked and the yolks are still runny.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and continue baking until just melted, about 1 minute more.
• Top with the cilantro and serve immediately.

SUNNY SIDE BURGER WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Salsa Verde:
• Heat broiler. Toss tomatillos, onion, and jalapeños with oil on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Broil until blackened in spots and very soft, 12-15 minutes. Let vegetables cool slightly, then transfer to a food processor. Add cilantro and black pepper; pulse until coarsely chopped (3 or 4 pulses). Taste salsa verde and season with more salt if needed.
• Assembly:
• Portion beef into 4 loosely packed balls (5 oz. each). Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until just beginning to smoke. Add 2 Tbsp. oil, then all 4 balls of meat. Firmly smash down on meat with a heavy metal spatula to create a craggy-edged 4"-diameter patty; season with salt and pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until deeply charred underneath, about 3 minutes. Flip and season other side with salt and pepper; cook to medium, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let rest.
• Carefully wipe out skillet with a paper towel, leaving only a light coating of oil. Set skillet over medium heat. Working in 2 batches, toast buns, cut side down, until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer to a clean surface.
• Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Crack eggs into skillet and cook until whites are just set and edges are crisp, about 4 minutes. Season with salt.
• Spread insides of both tops and bottoms of buns with a heaping tablespoonful of salsa verde. Place a burger on each bottom bun, top with an egg, sunny side up, and close burger.
• Do Ahead
• Salsa verde can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and chill.
