- 6 large eggs
- 1/3 cup Mexican cheese blend, or cheese of choice

Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven at 450ºF.
Step 2
Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet on medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and serrano peppers. Sauté until onions are transparent. Add the chili powder, ground cumin and garlic powder. Mix well. Deglaze the pan with a tablespoon of water if needed.
Step 3
Add the beans. Mix well. Stir in tomatoes. Use a potato masher to mash the beans and tomatoes. Add water and mix. Salt to taste.
Step 4
Simmer on a low flame for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 5
Once the sauce thickens, use the back of a spoon to make wells. Crack the eggs into each well. Place the skillet into the oven and bake for 3-4 minutes, until whites are set and yolk is runny.
Step 6
Raise the oven to broil. Sprinkle cheese around the eggs. Bake for a minute or until the cheese melts. Remove from the oven. Garnish with cilantro.
