I wonder why I never thought to fix my eggs in tomato sauce before, now that I have had these. What a great breakfast for my hubby and I. We loved them for our Sunday brunch!

I've made eggs like this but always with Italian seasonings. Was surprised how good the cumin, paprika, and jalapeno were in this dish. Because I used frozen peeled tomatoes (from last summer's garden) the tomato sauce cooked down into more a salsa consistency. Delicious as a dip for tortilla chips after the eggs were gone!
