    Low FODMAP Salsa Verde Skillet Eggs

    Published: Jul 28, 2022 | Updated: Jul 28, 2022 by Em Schwartz, MS, RDN

    Zesty Low FODMAP Salsa Verde Skillet Eggs are made with Fody’s flavorful (and certified Low FODMAP) fire-roasted salsa verde, eggs cooked to (your) perfection, and warm corn tortillas. All you need for this easy breakfast (OR breakfast-for-dinner) is just 5 main ingredients and 20 minutes.

    Zoomed into a skillet filled with steam-cooked eggs in salsa verde. The eggs are garnished with sliced green onion tops, melty Oaxaca cheese, and black pepper.

    This recipe was inspired by my opening the fridge, moving the carton of (almond) milk, and discovering a partially-eaten jar of Fody’s Salsa Verde that I had completely forgotten about. 🤦‍♀️

    (Ugh, don’t you hate when that happens!)

    Thankfully, the salsa was still good.

    While I could have easily pulled out the tortilla chips and had a very satisfying “chips and salsa” snack session. I decided to check out what else we had in the fridge (eggs, jalapeño, corn tortillas) and came up with a simple dish to use up the remaining sauce.

    Hello, Low FODMAP Salsa Verde Skillet Eggs!

    This easy skillet meal involves sautéing a little, (a lot, or no) minced jalapeño in a skillet, adding (leftover) salsa verde, cracking some eggs on top, covering, and steam-cooking until the eggs are done to (your) perfection.

    Serve the cooked eggs and sauce over warmed tortillas and sprinkle with melty Oaxaca cheese, fresh cilantro, and sliced green onion tops. And, there you have it – an easy, 20-minute, semi-homemade, low FODMAP breakfast, or in our case, breakfast-for-supper, dish.

    • Optional: Jalapeño – 1 small jalapeño (to yield 1 to 2 tablespoons minced pepper)

    • Black pepper

    Optional ingredients for serving

    • Cilantro – 2 tablespoons chopped – and / or –
    • Green onion tops (green parts only) – 2 tablespoons sliced

    Low FODMAP Notes

    In this section, I share information for certain ingredients that are either frequently asked about or that have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.

    Garlic-infused oil is a popular way to add low FODMAP garlic flavor on the low FODMAP diet. My current favorite is Colavita Roasted Garlic Olive Oil (technically a garlic-flavored oil) that has been confirmed to be low FODMAP by Monash University. Learn more about why garlic-infused oil is okay in my Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes post.

    Jalapeños are low FODMAP in servings of 1 small pepper (or 29 grams). Larger servings contain higher levels of the FODMAP group, excess fructose. Chili also peppers contain capsaicin which can be a non-FODMAP trigger for some people. Avoid if you suspect spicy food is an issue.

    Fody Foods Fire Roasted (Low FODMAP) Salsa Verde is low FODMAP in servings of 2 tablespoons or 30 grams.

    Fody Foods products are certified low FODMAP by Monash University. This means that they have been tested for FODMAPs in a laboratory and a single serving of each product has been confirmed to be low FODMAP.

    Fody Foods products can be purchased on FodyFoods.com (use funwithoutfodmaps15 for 15% off your first order), Amazon, Thrive Market, and a growing number of grocery stores (usually in the “natural” or “health” foods section).

    Corn tortillas: In general, the low FODMAP serving for corn tortillas is 2 tortillas or 47 grams. If you’re lucky enough to find corn tortillas made without added gums or fiber, the low FODMAP serving bumps up to 3 tortillas or 57 grams.

    Oaxaca cheese is a low FODMAP cheese. It contains trace (aka next to zero) amounts of FODMAPs, according to Monash University. Their suggested serving size is 2 slices or 40 grams. If you’re not familiar, Oaxaca (pronounced “wah-HAH-kah”) cheese or queso Oaxaca is a white, semihard cheese that is creamy, kind of stringy, and great for melting. I get it from Walmart or Woodman’s (a Wisconsin-based supermarket chain).

    Cilantro is low FODMAP in servings of 1 cup or 16 grams.

    Green onion tops – the green part of green onions – are low in FODMAPs and should be tolerated by most on the low FODMAP diet. Avoid the white bulb, which is high in FODMAPs. Learn more → Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes.

    Instructions

    To make this low FODMAP salsa verde skillet eggs recipe, simply:

    A skillet with oil and minced jalapeño.

    Heat a medium nonstick skillet (with lid) over medium to medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons garlic-infused olive oil and (optional) 1-2 tablespoons minced jalapeños (Amount depends on your desired level and tolerance of spiciness) and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the pepper pieces start to soften. Stir in a ½ cup of Fody Foods Low FODMAP Salsa Verde.

    A skillet with four raw eggs cracked into salsa verde ready to be steam-cooked.

    Gently crack each of the 4 eggs on top of the salsa in the skillet.

    Cover the skillet and cook for 4-8 minutes or until the egg whites are completely cooked (opaque and white) and the yolks are cooked to your preference.

    While the eggs are cooking, warm the 4 to 8 corn tortillas.

    A skillet filled with four cooked eggs sitting in a salsa verde sauce.

    Remove the skillet from the oven. Season with freshly cracked black pepper and top with an optional ¼ cup grated Oaxaca cheese (or your favorite low FODMAP cheese), 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, and/or 2 tablespoons sliced green onion tops (green parts only). Serve over warmed corn tortillas.

    Description

    This zesty Low FODMAP Salsa Verde Skillet Eggs recipe is made with Fody’s flavorful (and certified Low FODMAP) salsa verde, eggs cooked to (your) perfection, and warm corn tortillas. All you need for this easy breakfast OR breakfast-for-dinner is just 5 main ingredients and 20 minutes. 


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 teaspoons garlic-infused olive oil (or extra-virgin olive oil)
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons minced fresh jalapeño (about ½ to 1 small jalapeño, stem and seeds removed) // optional // see note
    • ½ cup Fody Foods Low FODMAP Salsa Verde
    • 4 large eggs
    • Freshly cracked black pepper
    • 4–8 corn tortillas

    Optional // For serving:

    • ¼ cup grated Oaxaca cheese (or your favorite low FODMAP cheese)
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or sliced green onion tops (green parts only)

    Instructions

    1. Heat a medium nonstick skillet (with lid) over medium to medium-high heat. Add olive oil and minced jalapeños and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the pepper pieces get bright green and start to soften. Stir in the salsa verde.
    2. Gently crack the eggs into the salsa. You can also crack the eggs one at a time into a small dish and then gently pour the egg on top of the salsa. This will help you spot and retrieve any rogue eggshell fragments. 
    3. Cover the skillet and cook for 4-8 minutes or until the egg whites are completely cooked (opaque and white) and the yolks are cooked to your preference. Keep an eye on your eggs. If you’re concerned the bottoms are cooking too quickly, reduce the heat. The actual cooking time will be unique to your skillet, stove’s heat, and preferred doneness.
    4. While the eggs are cooking, warm the corn tortillas. See note.
    5. Remove the skillet from the oven. Season with black pepper, and top with optional cheese, cilantro, or sliced green onion tops. Serve over warmed corn tortillas.

    Storage: This recipe is best when enjoyed right after preparing. Storage in the refrigerator or freezer is not recommended.

    Notes

    Low FODMAP Serving: One serving of this recipe is made with low FODMAP amounts of ingredients. Individual tolerance may vary. For more information on specific ingredients, please refer to the Monash FODMAP App or check out the “FODMAP Notes” section (above the recipe).

    Jalapeño: If you are sensitive to or do not like spicy foods, consider starting with ½ a small jalapeño (1 tablespoon), reducing the amount to a ¼ small jalapeño, or omitting altogether. If you like and tolerate spicy foods, consider using the whole jalapeño (2 tablespoons) and/or including the seeds. 

    Tortillas: When I have more time, my favorite tortilla-warming method is to heat a dry skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add a corn tortilla and heat for about 1 minute per side or until the tortilla gets warm, slightly crispy, and lightly browned spots start to appear. Transfer to a clean plate, and repeat. If I’m looking for quick and easy, I will microwave the tortillas for 10-15 seconds, or until warm and pliable.
