Ingredients

4 eggs
1 cup shredded cheese (I used a mixture of white cheddar and parmesan)
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cups leftover meat, veggies, or beans, to fill, warmed
Avocado, salsa, and cilantro, to serve (optional)

Instructions

Take a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil and fold over. Shape into a U to use as a mold for the shells.
In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of cheese in a circle. Be sure to sprinkle in a thin, even layer, as piling the cheese up too much will prevent it from crisping properly.
When the cheese melts and just begins to turn light golden around the edges, crack an egg over top. Try to keep the yolk intact and at the center of the circle. Sprinkle with a tablespoon more of cheese, and a bit of chopped jalapeno, if desired.
