But it tastes AWESOME! Honestly this is a family staple in our house. My mom makes it all the time and now I make it all the time. Simple, fast, Italian. To change it up sometimes I throw in an extra can of beans (Kidney beans) and add a little 8oz can of sauce to make sure there is enough juice. It's so yummy I may have to make it tonight!Fairy Princesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09431401857396963298noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128963886685576382.post-34862610829516864142008-06-17T13:28:00.002-04:002008-06-17T13:35:25.949-04:00Salsa Eggs6 eggs<br />1 red pepper (I like how red tastes but you can use any color)<br />2 tbls. salsa (I use Old El Paso - Medium)<br />2 slices fat free cheese<br />2 Weight Watcher's bagels<br />Dollop of Skim Milk (is a dollop an actual measurement)<br /><br />Tabasco (optional - I like it spicy!)<br />Olive Oil<br />Garlic Salt<br />Spray Butter<br /><br />1.
