    Ingredients and Substitutes

    • onion: we used 1 small brown onion for two portions of these salsa verde baked eggs. You can substitute it with half of a large white onion or use shallots instead.
    • garlic: or ready-made garlic paste.
    • Tomatillo salsa (Salsa Verde): we used Gran Luchito Mild Tomatillo Salsa.
    • cherry tomatoes: can be replaced with baby plum tomatoes.
    • eggs: we serve 2 per portion for a filling brunch.
    • cheese: we like mature Cheddar, but feel free to use any melty or crumbly cheese you like. These Eggs in Salsa work well with Emmental, mozzarella, feta, Gouda and more.
    • yoghurt: use thick and creamy Greek yoghurt, or substitute with creme fraiche or sour cream.
    • coriander: or parsley.
    • bread: we love toasted sourdough slices with these baked Mexican eggs, but you can use any other crusty bread or crispy tortilla wraps. They are perfect to scoop up any leftover salsa verde.

    What is Salsa Verde Made Of?

    Salsa Verde, also known as Green Sauce in Mexican cooking, is a spicy tomatillo-based salsa that is now popular across the world. Often served with Mexican or Texan dishes, Salsa Verde typically includes tomatillos, onions, chilli peppers, garlic, lime and coriander, making it an explosive salsa to serve as a delicious sauce.

    How To Make Your Own Salsa Verde?

    If you fancy making these Salsa Verde Baked Eggs completely from scratch, why not make your own tomatillo salsa? Here are a few recipes we tested and loved:

    • Cookie And Kate’s Homemade Salsa Verde
    • Elise Bauer’s Salsa Verde

    Method

    There are two ways that we suggest for making Salsa Verde Eggs: in the oven or on the stove. Both taste absolutely lovely. Note that if you are baking the eggs, you will need a pan (skillet) that is suitable for stove-top and oven cooking.

    How To Cook Eggs In Salsa?

    Preheat the oven to 200°C Fan (or see below for the no-oven method).

    Heat a tablespoon of odourless oil, like sunflower, avocado or vegetable oil, in an ovenproof frying pan (or cast iron skillet). Add the finely chopped onions and fry on low-medium heat for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.

    Tip the tomatillo salsa into the onions and stir for a minute to warm it through.

    Make four groves in the salsa and crack an egg into each. Dot the tomato halves around and scatter the cheese in small piles on top.

    OVEN: Place the eggs into the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked, but egg yolks are still runny.

    ON THE STOVE: Cover the pan with eggs with salsa with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes until egg whites have set.

    Garnishes For Salsa Verde Eggs

    Once cooked, dot the yoghurt all over the eggs, scatter the coriander on top and take Your Salsa Verde Eggs to the table. Serve with toasted Sourdough slices to mop up the remaining salsa!

    Here are some alternatives to garnish Salsa Verde Baked Eggs with:

    • Spring onion.
    • Parsley.
    • Chilli flakes or fresh chilli.
    • Crispy baked tortilla (recipe coming soon).
    • Sour cream or creme fraiche.
    • Avocado slices.
