Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 tostada shells
  • 1 cup prepared refried beans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and place 4 tostada shells onto a baking sheet. Heat for 3-5 minutes until hot. Remove and cover with foil until eggs are cooked. Place refried beans into a heat proof bowl, loosely cover and microwave for 90 seconds or until hot. Stir and set aside for a few minutes.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter, swirling to coat pan. Crack eggs into pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until whites are mostly set.
  • Use a butter knife or offset spatula to spread refried beans carefully and evenly over warm tostada shells. Leave a small border around edges.

Notes

  • I like to heat up my skillet a few minutes before adding the butter and eggs. Cooks the eggs nice and fast.
  • Once tostada shells and beans have been warmed, keep the oven on warm and place them in the oven until eggs are done cooking.
  • Use your favorite Mexican toppings for your tostadas. Other ideas are guacamole, shredded cheese, green onions, sliced jalepenos and even bacon crumbles.
