Step-by-Step Instructions for Salsa Verde Eggs
  1. In a non-stick skillet, pour in your salsa verde and place it over medium heat. Allow the salsa to gently simmer for about 2–3 minutes until it's warmed through and bubbling lightly.
  2. Carefully crack large eggs into the simmering salsa verde, ensuring they don’t touch. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Once the whites are set, remove the lid and season the eggs with a sprinkle of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  4. Warm your corn tortillas in the microwave for about 10–12 seconds or on a stovetop until they are soft and pliable. Set them aside on a warm plate.
  5. Use a spatula to transfer the poached eggs and a generous spoonful of salsa verde onto each warm tortilla.
  6. Finish your salsa verde eggs by adding sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
  7. Serve your salsa verde eggs right away while they’re hot and enjoy!
