Sunny-Side Nachos
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (vegetarians can substitute Gimme Lean)
- cayenne pepper
- 7 ounces corn tortillas, approximately half of a store-bought bag or, if prepared fresh, use 15 corn tortillas, each cut into 6 triangles

- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Crumble and brown the breakfast sausage as per the package directions.
- Sprinkle in some cayenne for an additional kick.
- Layer the tortilla chips in a 9 x 13-inch roasting pan.
- Evenly distribute the sausage, onion and tomatoes over the chips.
- Cover the chips with the shredded cheese.
- Bake the nachos for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted.
- While the nachos are baking, fry 4 eggs sunny side up, leaving the yolk runny.
- When the nachos are done, place the eggs directly on top of the nachos.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese over the eggs and season generously with salt and pepper.
