Creating This Migas Breakfast Recipe
These days, I’m always looking for something easy and fast for dinner. We’ve been focusing on easy family meals that are easily customizable.
When you’re feeding a family —and especially when you’re working with picky eaters or problem feeders — it’s important to provide lots of choices and to make meals as accessible as possible.
This keeps the meal low-pressure, relaxed, and inviting. The last thing you want to do when you sit down to dinner is fight over the meal!
We’ve found that build-you-own style meals work really well for this. Taco nights? Sure! Salad bar? Awesome.
This migas eggs casserole is another example of this in action, and we really love them.
What Is Migas?
Migas eggs are a Tex-Mex egg dish made with crispy strips of tortillas, eggs, and any veggies (like onions, chiles, peppers, tomatoes) or cheeses you like.
Traditionally, you make this dish in a big sauté pan, but I’ve found that my little ones are too picky to abide picking chiles out of their dish. As such, I prefer to bake my migas eggs casserole in individual ramekins.
This way, you can make individual ones, skipping the chiles for one, or adding some extra cheese for another. I think this is a great way to get in a few extra greens, so I always like to add a little spinach or kale in with my dish.

Let the casserole cool completely on your counter, then wrap with foil. It will last up to five days in the fridge.
How to Reheat Migas Egg Casserole
You can reheat individual portions in the microwave (cook for about 30 seconds). Note that microwaving eggs makes them slightly rubbery.
You can reheat the entire pan in a 350ºF oven for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through.

Tips for Making Migas Casserole
- You can make one large migas casserole in an 8×8-inch or 2-quart baking dish (as shown here). Or, if you prefer, you can bake individual 2-egg portions in smaller ramekins and let everyone mix in their favorite toppings.
- You can make a big pan of this for breakfasts throughout the week. Mix it up by adding a little cooked bacon or chorizo.
- Make it a full dinner by adding a salad, fresh fruit, or a side of black beans. Don’t forget to add a big heaping scoop of restaurant-style salsa!
