Tomatillo Huevos Rancheros – WLS Recipes

I love making a good brunch in our house. It makes our days off seem super special. I take my time while I’m cooking it, sipping on coffee and enjoying being in my yoga pants for far too long.

I love brunch so much I bought a Brunch Cookbook from Williams and Sonoma for the yearly cookbook exchange I have with my girl friends. Likewise it’s not surprising I ended up with the Breakfast For Dinner Cookbook my friend Emily brought 🙂 Oh brunch. How I love thee.

Eggs seem to be a love or hate relationship for many of my clients. I love eggs myself and try to help my egg haters to find alternatives to their breakfast ideas when all I want to do is tell them how good eggs are. This recipe is full of flavor…and eggs. Pair it with black beans for a little more texture and excitement!

Note: This recipe MAY fit the guidelines for your programs “Soft Diet” if vegetables are omitted. Be sure and check your patient handbook and follow your surgeons guidelines.
