Poached Eggs in Tomato Chile Sauce
Huevos en Rabos de MestizaThis is a typical morning dish of eggs poached in fresh tomato sauce with chile strips and cheese, that comes from central Mexico. Even though the Mexican name suggests that the eggs are dressed in rags (rabos), it's a delicious and handsome dish. The eggs are often served in shallow earthenware bowls with bolillos (oval Mexican sandwich rolls).
