Cheesy Frico Fried Egg Tostadas
A crispy cheddar cheese frico topped with a perfectly fried egg and fresh tomato salsa — this Cheesy Frico Fried Egg Tostada is a bold, low-carb twist on classic breakfast flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime wedge
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon oil or butter (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lime. Set aside.
- Heat a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease if needed.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar in a 5-inch circle directly into the pan to form the frico base.
- Once the cheese begins to bubble and crisp at the edges, crack an egg into the center. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover the skillet briefly to help the egg white set while keeping the yolk runny.
- Once the egg is cooked and cheese is crisp, carefully transfer to a plate.
- Top with fresh salsa and serve with a lime wedge. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese for best crisping.
- Covering the pan briefly helps cook the whites without overcooking the yolk.
- Make the salsa ahead of time for even quicker prep.
