Socca Huevos Rancheros Verde

Serves 4.

Written by
Socca Huevos Rancheros Verde
Huevos rancheros, or rancher’s eggs, are a refreshing, flavourful alternative to the traditional morning scramble. For school days, make the socca ahead of time. When you’re ready to serve, assemble the individual portions, bake, and serve. [callout]

Tip

Turn this into a family-style breakfast casserole by assembling it in 8 x 8 x 2 in (20 x 20 x 5 cm) glass or ceramic baking pan or cast iron skillet, doubling the socca for a sturdy base. [/callout]

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
