- 2 teaspoons olive oil or butter
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for melting the cheese on the tortilla chips.
- Bake the chips and cheese: Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a parchment-lined quarter sheet pan or toaster tray. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the chips. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt and becomes bubbly.
- Cook the eggs: While the chips are baking, heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs gently into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, optionally flipping halfway through to achieve your preferred level of doneness.
- Assemble the nachos: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the chips from the oven. Top the cheesy chips with the cooked eggs and your choice of toppings such as guacamole, salsa, cilantro, bacon, beans, or vegetables.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the breakfast nachos immediately while warm, making it a perfect dish for a quick and satisfying breakfast or brunch.
