Servings: persons

1/2 large red bell pepper (about 2/3 cup)
1 small onion (about 1/2 cup)
1 large plum tomato (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 c. fresh cilantro leaves
4 clove garlic (about 4 teaspoons)
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. Black pepper
8 slice Black Forest or Virginia ham (6 to 8 ounces)
8 large eggs
2 oz. plain or jalapeno Monterey Jack cheese (about 1/2 cup)
8 large tortilla chips (about 1/2 cup)

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. To make the sofrito, combine the bell pepper, onion, tomato, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor and process until smooth.
2
Fit a slice of ham into each of 8 lightly oiled muffin cups, or mini souffle dishes (they must hold a scant 1/2 cup), with the ends of the ham extending above the edges of the cups.
3
Divide the sofrito among the cups, shaping a hollow in the center.
4
Crack one egg into each and top with the cheese.
5
If using custard cups or souffle dishes, place on a rimmed baking sheet for easy handling.
6
Bake in the center of the oven until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny, about 15 minutes.
7
Season the eggs with salt and pepper and carefully remove (with the ham) from the muffin cups, using two spoons or spatulas.
8
Sprinkle with tortilla chips and serve.
