| Yield: | 2 to 4 servings |
Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 to 3 green onions/scallions, sliced (white and pale green parts only)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
- 1/4 cup shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In an 8-inch, nonstick, oven-proof saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the scallions green onions and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile in a medium bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. Add cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Add egg mixture to pan and cook. Add the eggs and cilantro to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes lifting the edges with a spatula, to allow any uncooked egg to flow to the bottom. Pour the Mexican crema over the top and sprinkle with the cheese. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until puffed and golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Delicious and easy. Terrific way to use that awesome summer corn!
Great for when you’re in the mood for something simple and delicious.
Perfect flavors. I added to tomatoes.
Husband can’t eat onions so I switched them out for bacon, then cooked eggs in bacon fat. You could also use chorizo instead of bacon if you want the heat. We loved it and I will make again.
very good but added more seasoning – remember the title of this piece is cooking with the kids – so DUH might not be enough strong flavors for adults . I jazzed up like every recipe to fit my pallet like a good cook should. Great recipe thank you.
Bland….very very very bland. I expected MUCH more flavor from a Mexican dish
Not quite as flavorful as I expected it to be, but it’s a very easy, light breakfast dish. Instead of transferring it to the oven, I simply put a lid on the pan and finished it on the stovetop.
Very quick, easy and tasty! What more could I ask for!? I even found the Mexican Crema at my local Kroger store in the mexican section.
Easy and tasty. Served with warm corn tortillas and salsa. Killer good!
very yummy! A homerun with my friends and family. I would add more onions and cilantro. But then again I love both!
