Hints and tips
• Huevos rancheros is a classic Mexican breakfast dish; translates to ‘ranch eggs’.
• The cooking time of the eggs may vary with the cookware used and the level of doneness desired.
• Fresh eggs are best for this recipe, no more than a few days old ideally. The older the eggs, the more broken down the whites become and the more they spread out over the sauce.
