Huevos Rancheros with Guajillo Chile Sauce
Warm tortillas, creamy beans, rich eggs, and a smoky chile sauce—this classic dish is simple, satisfying, and perfect for a slow brunch or easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients:
4 eggs
4 Tortillas Con Madre flour tortillas
1 cup cooked black beans
1 cup Guajillo Chile Sauce (see recipe)
½ cup Skagit’s Best Salsa Company Medium-Ish Salsa
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper
Optional for serving:
Crumbled chorizo sausage
Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro)
Crumbled cheese or a dollop of fromage blanc
Method:
1. In a small saucepan, gently warm the black beans over low heat. Add a splash of water if needed to loosen, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Warm the Guajillo Chile Sauce in a separate pan over low heat until hot. Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until soft and lightly charred in spots. Keep warm.
2. In the skillet you used for the tortillas, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook to your preference—sunny-side up or over-easy work best here. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Place a warm tortilla on each plate. Spoon a layer of black beans over the top, followed by a generous spoonful of Guajillo Chile Sauce. Add an egg to each tortilla, then finish with salsa. Top with crumbled chorizo, fresh herbs, or a bit of cheese if you like, and serve immediately.

Pasta with Pancetta, Mushrooms & Garden Herbs
Savory pancetta, earthy mushrooms, and a tumble of fresh herbs come together in this simple, deeply flavorful pasta—rustic, comforting, and perfect for a spring evening.
Ingredients:
12 ounces fresh pasta
4 ounces Norcino Salumi pancetta, diced
2 cups mushroom medley, cleaned and torn
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup dry white wine (optional)
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup pasta cooking water (as needed)
1 handful fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 small bay leaf
Zest of ½ lemon
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Grated Parmesan or Pecorino, for serving
Method:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until just al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

Add olive oil if needed, then add mushrooms in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes to develop color, then stir and continue cooking until golden and tender.
3. Add garlic and thyme to the pan and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Deglaze with white wine (if using) and let it reduce by half. Return pancetta to the pan. Add cooked pasta, butter, and a splash of pasta water, tossing to coat and create a light, glossy sauce. Add more pasta water as needed to loosen.
4. Remove bay leaf, then toss in parsley and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finish with grated cheese and an extra drizzle of olive oil.

Farmhouse Croque Madame
A cozy twist on the French classic, made with Gruyère cheese bread, Bellsong butter, and our own farm eggs. Hint: It is delicious served with a radicchio salad on the side!
Ingredients:
4 thick slices Gruyère cheese bread
4 ounces Italian sausage
2 tablespoons Bellsong grey sea salt butter, plus more for toasting
1 tablespoons flour
¾ cup buttermilk or whole milk
½ cup grated Gruyère cheese
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 eggs
Fresh chopped herbs, such as thyme or parsley, for garnish
Method:
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
2. In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in buttermilk until smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in Dijon and half the Gruyère cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Butter one side of each bread slice. Place two slices butter-side down on a baking sheet, top with sausage and a spoonful of cheese sauce, then a second slice of bread (butter-side up). Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and toast sandwiches until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a baking sheet, top each with remaining cheese sauce and shredded Gruyère, and broil 1–2 minutes until bubbly.
4. In a clean pan, fry the eggs sunny-side-up in butter. Place on top of each sandwich. Garnish with herbs and a crack of black pepper. Serve warm with a light side salad—or enjoy with a drizzle of Bella Luna wildflower honey for a sweet-savory brunch treat.
