Ingredients

1 Hot Dog
2 Eggs
1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil, Corn Oil or Butter
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions

Add the oil/butter to a nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil, Corn Oil or Butter
While the oil/butter heats up, slice your hot dog into rounds. I like 1/4 inch thickness, but this comes down to personal preference.
1 Hot Dog
Add the rounds to the pan and cook for 3 minutes, flipping once or twice. The idea is to crisp up both sides of the hot dog rounds.
Note: If you choose to add extra ingredients beyond this recipe (see recipe notes below), add them with the hot dogs.
When the hot dogs have some color on them, reduce the heat to medium, remove the pan from the heat and add your eggs in, straight from the shell. Make sure to remove any shell pieces that may fall in.
Break the eggs up with your cooking spoon or tongs. Give them a little stir to combine the whites and yolks, and to mix the hot dog rounds in. Then return the pan to the heat.
Note: if you are making multiple servings, consider whisking the eggs in a separate bowl before adding to the hot pan. You can do this while the hot dogs cook, which will save time and keep the pan from cooling down too much.
2 Eggs
Let the eggs cook, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired doneness. This should really only take 1-2 minutes, but could take longer depending on how many servings you are cooking.
Taste the eggs for salt and pepper and serve right away! Enjoy with tortillas, salsa and really anything else that is good at breakfast.
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Notes

Stuff to add with the hot dogs: bell pepper, jalapeño, onion, tomato, ham or other meat, pre-cooked potatoes

You can also mix cheese in just as the eggs are finishing cooking

Toppings: salsa, hot sauce, diced onion, ketchup

Sides: tortillas, fried potatoes, refried beans

Quick, Easy, and Versatile: Huevos con Salchicha

Huevos con Salchicha is one of my go-to breakfasts when I need something fast, filling, and delicious. It’s a simple recipe with only five basic ingredients: hot dogs, eggs, oil, salt, and pepper. The best part? It’s perfect for one person but scales up easily if you’re feeding more. You can make it for two, four, or even a whole crowd. This dish is affordable, quick to whip up, and endlessly customizable.

Hot dogs might be an American classic, but they’ve found their way into Mexican kitchens and become a popular choice in recipes like this one. How did this happen? It’s likely thanks to the easy availability and affordability of hot dogs, which made them a staple in Mexican households after being introduced in the early 20th century. Immigrants and trade brought hot dogs to Mexico, and they’ve since become a common ingredient in quick, hearty meals like Huevos con Salchicha.

Customizing Your Huevos con Salchicha

This breakfast might be simple, but it’s perfect for experimenting. Feel free to dress it up with whatever extras you have on hand! Onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, or cheese can add extra flavor and texture. Want to make it heartier? Toss in some chorizo, ham, or bacon. Once it’s done, you can top it with salsa or hot sauce for some spice, or even wrap it up in a warm tortilla to make it a breakfast taco. The possibilities are endless, and it’s fun to change it up depending on your mood.
