Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen waffle fries
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Spread the frozen waffle fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow crispy cooking. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bake the waffle fries for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- While the fries are baking, prepare your toppings. Slice the avocado, chop the cilantro, and have the salsa and shredded cheese ready.
- During the last 5 minutes of fry cooking, remove the baking sheet and sprinkle shredded cheese over the fries. Return to the oven to melt the cheese.
- In a non-stick skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once fries are crispy and cheese is melted, remove from oven and transfer to a serving platter.
- Top the cheesy waffle fries with the fried eggs, then generously spoon salsa over the eggs.
- Garnish with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- Crispy Fries: For the ultimate crispy texture, make sure to spread the waffle fries in a single layer on the baking sheet and avoid overcrowding. This allows hot air to circulate around each fry, ensuring they cook evenly.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick, or swap out the avocado for guacamole for a different flavor profile.
- Perfectly Fried Eggs: If you're not a fan of sunny-side-up eggs, you can scramble them or cook them over-easy. Just be sure to season them well with salt and pepper for the best flavor.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the toppings in advance—slice the avocado and chop the cilantro ahead of time to save on prep work when you're ready to serve.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your Huevos Rancheros Waffle Fries with a side of refried beans or a fresh green salad for a complete meal that’s sure to satisfy everyone at the table.
