Submitted by BogeysMom

"This is nice for a brunch or a really heavy breakfast. I serve it with oj, home fries, bacon and biscuits when I have big appetites to satisfy."

 

• Ready In: 50mins

4. Break the can of refried beans into small chunks and place around on top of set eggs.

Since there are just two of us, I cut the recipe in half. I used homemade salsa (sodium-free), Diana Neal's refried beans (no self-respecting refrigerator should be without them), and I gave the dish a kick in the pants with a tablespoon of diced chiles. In addition to the cheese, I sprinkled some crushed tostadas on top to add a little crunch. Very nice recipe, Kim.

This was very good and very filling! Every couple of months, I make breakfast for dinner and I'm glad I tried this. I only used about half of the dressing-salsa mixture on top because it seemed to be too much. I served the remaining sauce on the side.
