    Looking for a way to add a little more flavor and excitement to your breakfasts? How about some eggs with salsa? This recipe is proof that sometimes simple is best!

    Sometimes the best flavors are simple. You take your basic scrambled eggs. Toss in some cheese, salsa, and cilantro. Simple ingredients that take eggs from ordinary to amazing!!

    I LOVE these salsa eggs. They're super duper FAST: they take me no more than 15 minutes to whip up on any given morning.

    The recipe is also fairly flexible. You can use you favorite store-bought or homemade salsa. You can substitute dairy-free cheese alternatives for the Mexican cheese.

    What you need to make this recipe

    eggs in skillet

    For this breakfast recipe, you just need a few basic cooking tools:

    • Medium skillet - I use my 10" Finex Cast-Iron Cookware skillet. But you can use any cast-iron or stainless steel skillet.
    • Mixing bowl - You'll need a small to medium-size bowl to whisk the eggs.
    • Whisk - you can use a fork to beat the eggs, but using a whisk will result in fluffier eggs! This is my favorite balloon whisk that I use every day.
    • Heatproof spatula - Use a large wooden spoon or silicone spatula (my personal preference) to cook the eggs in the skillet.

    Salsa Eggs Recipe FAQs

    eggs with salsa in skillet
    How do you make scrambled eggs fluffy?

    The act of whisking the eggs helps incorporate more air, and this makes them light and fluffy.

    How do I make this dish dairy-free?

    You can easily make this a dairy-free breakfast by substituting your favorite dairy-free alternatives to the cheese. This is my favorite shredded dairy-free cheese alternative, and it melts beautifully like regular cheese.

    Do you add milk to scrambled eggs?

    Adding milk actually dilutes the flavor and the content of the scrambled eggs. This can make them more rubbery and tough.

    What's the best salsa to use for eggs with salsa?

    For this recipe, you can use either restaurant-style salsa, or a chunkier style salsa like this easy Pico de Gallo recipe.

    Equipment

    • skillet

    Ingredients

    • 4 large eggs
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese
    • 1 cup your favorite salsa
    • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional), for serving
    • sour cream (optional), for serving

    Instructions

    • In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs until the whites and yolks are fully incorporated. Set aside.
    • In a medium or large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the egg mixture and scramble, using a silicone or wooden spatula to push the just-cooked parts in so more of the liquid eggs can cook. After about 1 to 2 minutes, once the eggs have cooked about ¾ of the way, sprinkle on the cheese. Gently fold the eggs over to help melt the cheese. Then immediately add the salsa, and stir into the eggs.
    • As soon as the eggs are just fully cooked (don't overcook them or they will become rubbery), turn off the heat and transfer the salsa eggs onto a plate. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with a side of sour cream, if desired.

    Notes

    Cooking tips: 
    • The best dishes start with the best ingredients. When possible, buy the best pasture-raised eggs you can afford. Farm-fresh eggs and eggs that come from pasture-raised chickens tend to have those vibrant yellow (sometimes yellow-orange) yolks, and they simply lay healthier, tastier eggs. 
    • Keep the heat around medium for fluffy, evenly cooked eggs. 
    • You can double this recipe. However, if you double the recipe, be sure to use a larger skillet. 
    Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
    How to make this recipe dairy-free: Substitute your favorite dairy-free cheese alternative for the shredded Mexican cheese.

        great recipe, added garlic seasoning and chilli powder to the eggs, wrapped it all up in a tortilla with some French's fried onions and used a chipolte sauce.
