Breakfast Nachos

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Onto a rimmed baking sheet or cast iron fajita pan, add a layer of the chips, overlapping as you desire. Add half of the cheeses and scatter about to get coverage on the chips. Strategically place half of the bacon, shallots, beans and jalapeno peppers. Sprinkle just a bit more cheese on top, then repeat with a second layer of each. Yes, these are double layer nachos. Remember, I was hungry?

Place these into the preheated oven and cook for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is nice and melted.

During this time, heat a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Add the oil and let this heat for a minute or two, then crack in the egg. I went sunny side up on this one as I wanted the yolk to be part of the action as well. I love a good sunny side up or over easy egg. Cook the egg until you reach your desired level of done and season with salt and pepper.

Once the egg is cooked, remove the nachos from the oven, and slide the egg on top. Now you are ready to serve.

These breakfast nachos have everything I love in a breakfast, brunch, or heck, even late night feast. Each bite has everything I wanted in a breakfast bite. That smokiness from the bacon, along with the creaminess of the beans. When paired with the spiciness of the shallot and jalapeno pepper, I mean, c’mon? If you are looking for something creative to do with your nachos, don’t be afraid to try these. I know I’ll be making some version of these in the very near future.
