The eggs will continue to set even after being removed from the heat, so be careful not to overcook. Serve with hot sauce for an extra kick.

Quick, easy, delicious. As this recipe is a bit high in fat, I cooked up the sausage and onion/pepper and put that on the side so people could put on as much or as little as they wanted. Using a good quality cheese is key here. We are not huge fans of queso fresco so I purchased a quality crumbled goat cheese to use instead. Really great. Will definitely make again.
