Рецепт Huevos Rancheros with Davidson’s Safest Choice™ Pasteurized Eggs | #SundaySupper
This week, the Sunday Supper Family is delighted to welcome Davidson’s Safest Choice™ around the family table! As a mostly (wimpy) vegetarian, eggs are a key source of protein for me. For years eggs have been vilified, but more recent studies, and there are quite a few of them now, indicate we may have over-reacted. In fact, many researchers now state that you’re missing out on a powerhouse nutrient source if you shun eggs, and particularly egg yolks.
The problem of course was cholesterol and its effect on heart disease. But cholesterol is actually an important component of our cell membranes and influences hormone biology, among other functions. The human body manufactures its own cholesterol and tends to produce less when it’s ingested. As an important note, other health factors, like diabetes, can affect this, so it’s not a given for everyone. But for most people, eggs are a healthy choice and should not result in elevated blood cholesterol levels. Saturated fat, on the other hand, still appears to be a contributor to heart disease risk across the board. And egg yolks are low in saturated fat.
Let’s look at the benefits of eating eggs:
- Egg yolks are an outstanding low-calorie source of protein that, because of its amino acid mix, is highly bioavailable to support bone health and muscle mass.
- The yolks are packed with vitamins and nutrients like choline for brain development and function, Vitamin D for bones, and other nutrients to support the nervous system and reduce eye diseases like Macular Degeneration and Cataracts.
What’s interesting is that studies indicate that some of this powerhouse nutritional value is lost once you cook the yolk. Essentially once the yolk is broken and exposed to high heat, such as in scrambling eggs, the proteins and fat are damaged. So if you eat a lot of eggs like I do, it’s best to balance scrambled eggs with poached and sunny side up versions where the yolk is exposed to less heat. And to mitigate fears of Salmonella in less cooked or uncooked yolks, Davidson’s are the gold standard for pasteurized eggs.
In fact, most eggs sold in cartons are not pasteurized, and the massive industry recall of 500 million eggs in August 2010 as a result of more than 1900 illnesses from Salmonella, added to consumer fears related to egg safety. So Davidson’s goes the extra mile by pasteurizing their eggs through an all-natural, gentle warm bath process to eliminate the risk of Salmonella without changing the nutrition or flavor package.
Davidson’s Safest Choice eggs are the perfect choice for sunny side up, poached, soft scrambled, omelets, Tiramisu, Caesar salad dressing, Hollandaise sauce, mousse, homemade mayonnaise, homemade ice cream…and licking the spoon when you bake. And their eggs are available cage free raised on Certified Humane farms.

Huevos Rancheros
Ingredients...
- Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa
- 1 pound tomatillos, husked and coarsely chopped
- 1 Anaheim chile, coarsely chopped including seeds
- 1 white onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 avocados
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- Refried Pinto Beans
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup diced white onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 cups cooked pinto beans
- 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes + 1/4 teaspoon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 cup liquid (either from cooking the beans, water, or vegetable broth) + 1/4 c
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Final Dish
- 16 mini-sweet peppers
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
- 8 tortillas (flour or corn)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 large Davidson's Safest Choice eggs
1 1/2 avocadoes
Directions...
Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa
Combine all Salsa ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and pulse until you have the consistency you prefer.
Refried Pinto Beans
Heat the oil in a sauce pan over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 15 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients except the lime juice and cook until the bean are warmed, about 10 minutes.
Use an immersion blender just enough to start to mash the beans. Alternative you can pour them into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade and pulse approximately 10 times.
Stir in the lime juice and adjust for seasoning.
Final Dish
Halve, lightly oil, and roast the mini peppers under the broiler on a baking sheet until softened and crisped around the edges.
Brush the tortillas with oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Turn the oven from broil to 250˚F and slide the tortillas in to slightly crisp, about 10 minutes.
Spread the tortillas with Refried Pinto Beans, followed by the Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa and roasted mini-peppers.
Fry the eggs in a little butter and place on top of the tortillas and add a couple of slices of avocado on the side.
Cooking Notes...
The Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa, Refried Pinto Beans, and roasted peppers can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator for a few days.
