I love a big breakfast, but it’s seriously been years since I’ve sat down with my family to eat one. Why? I’m always at the stove, frying eggs or flipping bacon. By the time my breakfast is ready, everyone else has finished theirs.

If you’ve been in the same boat, try this huevos rancheros breakfast casserole, a scaled-up version of the classic huevos rancheros. You get six beautiful sunny-side-up eggs nestled in salsa, pinto beans, toastadas, and melted cheese–all ready to scoop onto plates and dig in at once, without having to make it in shifts.

In fact, why save it just for breakfast? It would be equally at home for a luncheon or dinner. There’s very little prep, and the ingredients are mostly pantry staples. It just may be your new dream meal for those times when you need something crowd-pleasing in short order…without making you feel like a short-order cook.

More Savory Breakfast Casseroles

Preheat the oven to 375°F. 

Assemble the casserole: 

Stir the salsa and taco seasoning in a medium bowl until well combined. 

Spoon 1 cup of the salsa mixture in an even layer in the bottom of a 13-x9-inch baking dish. Top with 7 tostadas, breaking to fit in even and layer. Sprinkle evenly with 3/4 cup of the pinto beans, 1/2 cup of the scallions, and 1 cup of the cheese. 

Repeat the layer once more with 1 cup of the salsa mixture and the remaining 7 tostadas, 1/2 cup scallions, 3/4 cup pinto beans, and 1 cup cheese. Spoon 6 dollops of the remaining 1 cup of salsa on top of the cheese.

Add the eggs:

Use the back of a spoon to create a well in the middle of each salsa dollop. Break 1 egg into each well. Sprinkle each egg with salt and pepper.

Bake:

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake until the egg whites are just set and the yolks are still runny, 35 to 45 minutes. 

Let the casserole stand for 5 minutes. Top with chopped avocados and cilantro and serve.
