Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

5
Place tortillas on a large baking sheet and spread evenly with cheese. Bake about 3 minutes.
6
Meanwhile, cook eggs to taste (scrambled, fried or poached).
7
Place an egg on each tortilla, and top with a generous tablespoon of sauce, onions, parmesan cheese and cilantro if desired.
