Bacon Jalapeno Deviled Eggs

Migas

If you're like me, you might be wondering what Migas is. It's a tex mex breakfast dish with eggs, bell peppers, jalapenos, onions, cheese, and chopped fried tortillas. Yum! I made this for my husband on Father's Day. We both loved it but I think it was a little too gourmet for my kids. I think if I would've added sausage or ham they would've liked it a lot more.

Migas
12 large eggs
1/4 cup half & half 
4 whole corn tortillas
vegetable oil for frying
1 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1/2 cup onion, diced

1 jalapeno, diced (seeds removed, if desired)
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 cup shredded cotija cheese (may use cheddar, monterey jack, etc.)
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped

In a bowl, whisk together eggs and half & half. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

In a small skillet over medium heat, heat vegetable oil and fry each corn tortilla until crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Chop tortillas and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add onions and bell peppers and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add jalapenos and stir to combine. Add tomatoes and stir. Add tortilla pieces, stirring gently to combine.

Reduce heat to medium-low. When the heat has decreased, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently to cook with the veggies, folding mixture gently as it cooks. When eggs are cooked through, add cheese and cilantro and stir to combine.

Breakfast Tacos

I'm not really a breakfast person. It just takes too long to make and I always have so many other things to do in the morning. Dad is the breakfast maker in our house. My husband came up with the idea of making breakfast tacos. If you can have breakfast in a burrito, then why not have it in a taco? It's pretty basic and you can make it pretty much any way you want. I just wanted to share the idea.

Breakfast Tacos


scrambled eggs
bacon or sausage
cilantro
salsa
cheese
corn tortillas

Place tortillas on a hot griddle and top with cheese. Heat until cheese is melted. Assemble tacos with eggs, bacon or sausage, and salsa. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Breakfast Casserole

Every year we have breakfast at my parents' house on Christmas morning. I wanted to find something that can be made the night before so we don't have to make anything Christmas morning. My husband's cousin made this for her son's mission farewell about a month ago and I thought it was so good. I thought it would be perfect for Christmas morning.

Breakfast Burritos

It's very rare for me to make breakfast. My husband is the breakfast cook in our house. I think it takes too long to make and I always have so many things to do in the mornings. I usually just feed my kids cereal. But when I do make breakfast this is one of my favorite things to make.
