Ingredients

Rancheros Sauce:

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup sweet onion, chopped
½ cup green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 2 jalapeño chili peppers, stemmed, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon white pepper
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne powder
1 (28-ounce) can fire-roasted, diced tomatoes in their juices
¾ cup chicken or vegetable broth
¼ cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

Quesadillas:

8 (6-inch) flour or corn tortillas
2 tablespoons Cabot Unsalted Butter, softened
6 ounces Cabot White Oak Cheddar or Cracked Peppercorn Cheddar Cheese, shredded (about 1½ cups)
4 teaspoons Cabot Unsalted Butter, softened
4 eggs, cooked over easy, poached or scrambled
2 scallions, green parts only, chopped

Directions

To Make Rancheros Sauce:

WARM oil in a medium pan over medium high heat. Add onions, green bell peppers, garlic and jalapeños. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to soften the onions. Add salt, cumin, chili powder and all three types of pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and broth. Simmer for 20 minutes.

ADD mixture to a blender with cilantro and process until smooth. Pour sauce back into the pan. Keep warm.

To Make the Quesadillas:

MELT 1 teaspoon butter in a skillet. Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle ⅓ cup cheese on top of the tortilla and cover cheese with a second tortilla. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until underside is slightly golden. Very carefully use a spatula to flip the quesadilla over and cook 1 to 2 minutes until second side is golden and cheese has melted. Repeat process with remainder of tortillas. Place the finished quesadillas on a baking sheet in a 175°F oven.

PLACE each quesadilla on a plate to serve. Top it with a cooked egg of your choice. Spoon rancheros sauce over to top, garnish with scallions.

Time Saving Tip: If you don’t have time to make the rancheros sauce, then we recommend you buy a good quality chunky, smoky salsa. Warm it with ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth and then puree it and enjoy!
