Huevos Rancheros Aussie Style

Submitted by JustJanS

"I ate these delicious oven baked eggs in a little cafe very recently while on a few days away. I did my best to recreate them for brunch this morning, and think mine, made with home grown tomatoes and no thoughts about profit, were better! Probably nothing like the real thing, but a yummy breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner dish!"

Utterly delicious! Well worth the effort! Ate the sourdough toast while making this delectable baby! To peel the tomato I first speared it with a salad fork then immersed it in the boiling potato water to the count of 10; peeled easily after that! I also had only 1-cup ramekins so I divided this recipe among 6 of them. Worked perfectly to my satisfaction. Delectable. Thanks, JustJanS! Made for Make My Recipe tag game.

This dish was very good! I only have one cup ramekins, so that is what I used. Also, I had soft chorizo on hand, so the veggies were coated with it, very good! Next time I will omit the sugar, but otherwise, a great breakfast, thanks for posting! Made for Make My recipe Reunion, 2012
