Notes
This recipe is easy to double or triple when preparing breakfast for more people. Cook the eggs individually or use a larger skillet with enough room between them.
For additional crunch, add sliced radishes, bell peppers, shredded carrots, or pumpkin seeds.
If pickled jalapeños are too spicy, replace them with pickles, olives, or additional cucumber.
