• 2 cloves garlic
• 5 sprigs cilantro
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, (divided, plus more to taste)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil, (divided)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 large eggs

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Add the tomatillos, tomatoes, onion halves, jalapeno peppers and garlic cloves to a medium pot.

2. 2

   Fill the pot with water until the ingredients are completely covered and bring to a boil over high heat.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

4. 4

   Make the red salsa by adding the cooked roma tomatoes, 1 onion half, 1 jalapeno pepper, 1 clove garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to a blender. Blend until smooth.

5. 5

   Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Carefully pour in the blended red salsa and lightly fry for 1 minute, stirring often. Transfer to a bowl, taste, and season with more salt if necessary. Cover and set aside.

6. 6

   Make the green salsa by adding the cooked tomatillos and the remaining 1 onion half, 1 jalapeno pepper, 1 clove garlic, 5 sprigs cilantro, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to a blender. Blend until smooth.

7. 7

   Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Carefully pour in the blended green salsa and lightly fry for 1 minute, stirring often. Transfer to a bowl, taste, and season with more salt if necessary. Cover and set aside.

8. 8

   Fry the eggs by heating 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Carefully crack in the eggs, keeping them separate, and cook for 3 minutes, or until the whites are set. Remove from heat.

9. 9

   Place 2 eggs onto a plate. Spoon half of the red salsa around one of the eggs and half of the green salsa around the other egg. Garnish with a sprinkle of cotija cheese or queso fresco and some chopped cilantro. Serve with a side of refried beans and warm corn tortillas.
