Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Cut tortillas into 1/2-inch strips and add to the pan. Toss until edges brown and crisp, 3–4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour salsa verde over the tortilla strips. Stir to coat, then spread into an even layer.

  4. Step 4

    Make 4 small wells in the salsa. Crack an egg into each well. Cover and cook until whites set but yolks jiggle, 3–4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter diced onion, cheese, and cilantro over the top. Serve directly from the skillet.
