Cheesy Bodega-Style Eggs
By Ocado
Published on 21 December 2023
Bodega-style eggs originated in Latin American stores across New York. The filling sees beaten eggs fried with cheese, similar to a thin French omelette, which is then served in a toasted bun - delicious! We’ve used a spicy red chilli-infused cheddar slice topped with oozy mozzarella, but classic cheddar with a sprinkle of sliced salad onion and splash of your favourite hot sauce would be just as tasty.
