Made for Photo Tag. I think I boo-booed on the egg cooking method and fried them separate...oh well my son loved it anyway.I used thick-sliced pumpernickel because I also thought I had english muffins and everything was ready so I had to improvise.

The instructions to this recipe are easy to follow. I made half of the recipe last night. I added a little water (1/8 cup) to the salsa in *step 2* so my egg would cook without cooking the salsa dry. I think you could cut the sauce in half because it makes so much. I heaping tablespoonful onto the finished product would do. For myself personally I'll cut the cream cheese back by half too.
