El Basico Recipe

Prepare the Eggs

In a small bowl, crack 2 large eggs and beat them lightly. Season with 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper.

Cook the Eggs

Heat 1 tbs of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, pour in the eggs. For over easy, cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges are set, then gently flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. For scrambled, stir gently until fully cooked and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Cook the Bacon

In a separate skillet, cook 4 slices of bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip occasionally for even cooking. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and peel the 2 medium potatoes. Cut them into small cubes.

Cook the Potatoes

In a large skillet, heat 1 tbs of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed potatoes, 1 tsp of paprika, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.5 tsp of black pepper. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

Serve the Salsa

In a small bowl, place 0.5 cups of your favorite salsa, ready for serving.

Toast the Sourdough

While the eggs, bacon, and potatoes are cooking, toast 2 slices of sourdough bread until golden brown. Spread 1 tbs of butter on each slice while warm.
