Making your Tostadas wonderful and crispy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step when making our Easy Breakfast Tostadas is to get the crispy Corn Tortilla cooked. Now, there\u2019s a few ways you can do this such as baking or air frying the Tortilla. However, for the best result there is no substitute for frying up the Tortillas in hot Oil

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply fill a saucepan with enough Neutral Frying Oil so that the Tortilla can be submerged and then crank the heat until the Oil is around 320 \u2013 350F. For the Oil, any Neutral Frying Oil with a high burn point is good. We usually use Vegetable Oil, but there are loads you can use. Just avoid Olive Oil

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fry the Tortilla until crispy and brown slightly, then flip over using tongs and fry on the other side until crispy and browned. The whole process should take under 2 minutes, but it may vary depending on the temperature of your Oil

<\/p>\n\n\n

Once cooked, remove from the Oil and place the Tortillas on a wire rack over some paper towels. Season the Tortillas immediately with Salt while they are still hot. This will ensure the Salt sticks to the Tortillas, allowing them to taste their best. Let them cool as you prepare the rest of the ingredients

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare the toppings for your Breakfast Tostadas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can really add any kind of toppings you like when making our Easy Breakfast Tostadas. Any breakfast ingredient is going to work well. Just think of the Tostada as a vessel for transporting breakfast food to you!

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our recipe we\u2019ve opted for a classic list of ingredients that are commonly served in Mexican breakfast cuisine. The combination of Bacon, Eggs, Tomatoes, Avocado, Lime, Cilantro, and Cheese. We also finish the whole dish off with Hot Sauce because who doesn\u2019t want a bit of spice for their breakfast!

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to have all the ingredients prepared before I move onto the Bacon and Eggs, as you want both ingredients to be hot when serving. So, simply slice up the Tomato and Avocado and have them ready to go. For the Tomatoes, I recommend removing the seeds. For the Avocado, you can either cut it up into small chunks, or cut it into thin slices which makes for a beautiful presentation on the Tostada

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook the Bacon either in the Oven or on the stovetop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bacon\u2019s a very easy ingredient to cook. Many opt for oven baking the Bacon, which can be done by placing the Bacon strips on a sheet pan lined with Foil. Bake it for about 10 minutes at 350F, turning every so often

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I prefer to cook the Bacon on the stovetop. You can keep a lot more control over the cooking of it as it\u2019s sitting there right in front of you. It\u2019s also a little quicker than oven roasting, which is great for Breakfast where you want to be eating as soon as possible

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just fry up the Bacon in the pan with a touch of Oil to prevent it from sticking. Allow the Bacon to crisp up as you turn it a few times. Once cooked and crispy, set it aside on some paper towels to drain off any excess fat. For our Breakfast Tostadas, I recommend cutting the Bacon into small pieces to help it sit nicely on the Tortilla

This beautifully poached Egg is the perfect topping for our Easy Breakfast Tostada<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I like to cook the Eggs last, ensuring they\u2019re piping hot when serving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The final step is preparing the Eggs. You can either cook them sunny side up in the frying pan, or cook a perfectly Poached Egg. We made both for this recipe, but as you can see, nothing beats a beautiful Poached Egg sitting on top of your Breakfast Tortilla when it comes to presentation

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Poach the Egg, fill a saucepan about \u00be full with water and bring it to the Boil. Add a splash of White Vinegar and then crack an egg into a small bowl. Using a spoon, create a whirlpool in the water by rotating it quickly in circles

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drop the Egg into the center of the whirlpool, and you\u2019ll notice the Egg Whites will start to wrap around the Yolk, creating that famous Poached Egg look. Drop the heat to stop the Water from boiling and cook it for about 3 \u2013 4 minutes. Remove the Egg and set aside on a paper towel to remove any excess moisture

<\/p>\n\n\n

You can also replace the Poached Egg with a Fried Egg. They\u2019re a bit easier to make, but don\u2019t look as beautiful on the plate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Plating Breakfast Tostadas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to worry about a fancy presentation unless you really want to. It\u2019s breakfast after all; the purpose is simply to enjoy those tasty flavors. I like to start building the Tostada with a base of Avocado. Sprinkle over the Bacon and Tomatoes and then add your Poached Egg

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finish the dish by crumbling over some Cotija Cheese (you can also use Feta), along with Cilantro, Lime Juice, and some Hot Sauce. Sprinkle the top of the Egg with some Smoked Paprika and add a bit of finishing Salt and you\u2019re all done!
