Corn Chip Crusted Fried Eggs
Crispy corn chip coating meets a perfectly fried egg. A quick breakfast that's crunchy, savory, and totally addictive.
This started as a happy accident: a few crushed chips left in the bag, a couple of eggs, and ten minutes before everyone was out the door. Crack the eggs into hot butter, then sprinkle crushed Traditional Mitten Chips onto the whites as they set. The chips toast into a golden, savory crust right on the egg, so you get crunch and a runny yolk in the same bite. Traditional keeps the egg and butter the stars.
What You'll Need
Let's Make Magic
Crush the Chips
Place Traditional Mitten Chips in a zip-lock bag and crush into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin. You want a mix of fine and chunky pieces for texture.
Heat the Pan
Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Let it get hot enough that a chip crumb sizzles when dropped in.
Coat & Fry
Crack eggs into the pan. Immediately sprinkle crushed chips generously on top of each egg white. Let cook until whites are set and chips are golden.
Serve
Slide onto plates, season with salt and pepper. Serve with sliced avocado and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
