Today’s recipe is a Stacy Classic, from the days when I still made macaroni and cheese from a box and didn’t know the difference between a garlic clove and a head of garlic. It has the distinction of being one of the few recipes that I’ve completely memorized--even if I’ve made a recipe a dozen times, I always need to double check if it’s one or two tablespoons of olive oil or what temperature to set the oven to. It’s very simple, but thanks to the fresh cilantro it tastes like you put some effort into dinner (or breakfast, if you're so inclined).
If desired, you can make the eggs sunny side up or over easy.
