Huevos Rancheros in Phyllo Dough

I saw this recipe on Big Daddy's House. I changed it up with the ingredients I had on hand. It was very very good. I'm going to post the recipe like Big Daddy did, because the bean mixture I used, I made the other day for Stuffed Poblanos, and I just threw stuff in it, and don't remember exactly how I did it. Basically my beans were cooked black beans with garlic, green chilis, chili powder, onions, cumin, chopped jalapeno, cilantro, and 4 types of mexican cheese. I think this recipe would work well with any type of simple black beans, or cooked beans like refried bean mixture. Any type of yummy bean mixture would be good.


Huevos in Phyllo Dough
2 TB Bread Crumbs
1 roll of Phyllo Dough
1 stick melted butter
2 TB butter
8 eggs
Pinch of Salt and Pepper
2 cups Black Beans rinsed and drained or Refried Bean Mixture
1 cup Mexican Cheese such as Queso Fresco crumbled or a mixture of Shredded Mexican Cheeses like Kraft 4 Mexican Cheese

Ranchero Sauce
2 TB Olive Oil
1 Onion chopped
4-6 Cloves Garlic chopped
1 can Green Chilis chopped
1 can Fire Roasted Tomatoes
1 tsp Cumin
1 Chipolte Pepper in Adobo Sauce chopped
1-2 TB Adobo Sauce
1 TB Fresh Cilantro chopped
1/2 cup Crema Mexicana or Sour Cream

Heat oven to 400.
Melt 2TB of Butter in a skillet
Scramble the eggs in a bowl with Salt and Pepper
Pour into skillet and scramble until just barely set.
Remove from heat .
Spread the Bread Crumbs on the counter.
Take 2 sheets of the Phyllo Dough and lay them side by side lengthwise slightly overlapping on top of the bread crumbs.
Place 2 more Phyllo Dough sheets over the first two exactly the same way.
With a basting brush, brush some melted butter all over the sheets. Up to inch from the edge making sure to 'glue' the overlapping sheets together.
Place 2 more Phyllo dough on top of it and then baste more butter
Repeat this step until you have used all of the Phyllo Dough.
Scoop the eggs on to the dough 2 inches from the bottom edge to about an inch from the left and right edges. Do not spread the eggs, keep them in the same section on the dough. It will be about 3 or 4 inches wide.
Put most of the black beans on top of the eggs, reserving a handful for garnish.
(or spread refried beans on top of the eggs)
Crumble or Sprinkle the cheese over the beans.
Slowly and carefully start rolling the dough into a log. Folding in the edges as you roll. (this is where the bread crumbs come in handy, they make a slippery surface to make the rolling easier)
Don't worry about tearing the dough, just keep rolling.
Place the roll seam side down on a sheet of parchment paper in a baking sheet.
Baste the remaining melted butter all over the top and sides of the roll.
Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
When its done, take out of the oven and let it rest for several minutes.

While thats baking, make the Ranchero Sauce.
On Med-High Heat 2 TB of Olive Oil in a sauce pan.
Add the onions and cook the until softened.
Add the garlic.
Cook for about 1 minute.
Add the green chilis, tomatoes, cumin, chipolte pepper and adobo sauce.
Stir well.
Lower heat to Med and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the Cilantro.

Slice the Huevos Roll into sections, place on a plate.
Scoop Ranchero Sauce over the Huevos.
Put a dollop of Crema Mexicana or Sour Cream on top of that.
Sprinkle a tiny bit of Cilantro on top.

Another topping could be guacamole.
