Hi I’m Cynthia from What a Girl Eats. I am a classically trained cook. I attended the California Culinary Academy where I completed their 16 month Master Chef’s program. After graduating I worked in London. My husband and I traveled around the world on our honeymoon, which is why my blog’s tagline is “healthy food with a global spin”. By day I am a kindergarten teacher with a Master’s degree in teaching English to second language learners. I love cooking healthy food and hope to inspire others that cooking is easy and fun with simple recipes using real ingredients.
These super easy Mexican Egg Cups , a take-off on Huevos Ranchero, are perfect for a brunch. Baking them in a muffin tin enables you to cook a dozen (or more) at once. You can jazz them up with hotter sauce, depending on your crowd. I used a medium enchilada sauce for my guests. Small corn tortillas, about 4″ in diameter, fit into the muffin tin perfectly, but a larger tortilla would work as well.

- Add one tablespoon of enchilada sauce into the bottom of each tortilla cup.
- Add one tablespoon( or so) of grated cheese.
- Crack an egg on top of sauce and cheese mixture.
