Saucy Mexican Eggs are a spicy twist on traditional baked eggs. This recipe is perfect for those who love to start their day with a burst of flavor. It is also a great way to use up leftover salsa, as the salsa serves as the base for the dish. The eggs are then baked on top of the salsa, giving them a unique and delicious flavor. This recipe is also easy to customize by adding additional ingredients such as black beans, jalapeños, or diced bell peppers.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2.	Pour the salsa into the bottom of the prepared dish and spread it out evenly.
3.	Crack the eggs into the baking dish, making sure to leave some space between each one.
4.	Sprinkle the grated cheese over the eggs, making sure to cover them evenly.
5.	Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
6.	Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and sliced avocado if desired.
