Breakfast Tostada
This recipe includes a homemade Tostada, crispy and covered with cheese, bacon, and sausage, topped off with an over-easy egg on the top. If you want to use store-bought tostadas because you've had a long day or night, go right on ahead - this will be a very easy and delicious breakfast either way.
Tostada Dough
Mix the dry ingredients together, and combine with the green chilies, chicken broth, and water, until well-combined. You should have a moist dough that isn't crumbly and does not stick to the hands.
Tip: Err on the side of the dough being too moist, because it's easy to add more masa or flour later on.
Work the dough on a floured surface for about five minutes. Cover, and set aside to rest.

Prepare the Bacon and Sausage
As Seen in This Recipe
Cook the bacon and the sausage in a breakfast skillet, and reserve the bacon grease for cooking the tostada. That's going to add a LOT of flavor!
Tip: Keep the meats warm in a bowl, because you'll want to use this same skillet to cook the tostada. Less clean up!
How to Cook a Tostada in a Cast Iron Skillet
Once the dough is rested, pinch off six equal-sized dough balls. Roll them out until they're about six inches across, the standard size for a tostada. You can make yours bigger or smaller depending on your preference.
Coat the skillet in bacon grease, and cook one tostada at a time. Start by cooking until one side is golden brown. Flip the tostada, and cover the cooked size with cheese that will melt while the other side of the tostada is cooking. Flip one last time until the cheese is mostly melted.
Repeat until all of the Tostadas are cooked.
Tip: You can save the extras in the freezer for future breakfasts!
Prepare the Egg
If you have bacon grease left and you'd like to use it to cook your egg, go right ahead. If not, two tablespoons of butter will work fine. Cook the egg to your desired finish.
Place the tostada on the plate, cheese side up. Top with about a third of a cup of sausage, the egg, and some bacon crumbles. Then race over to the breakfast table and get to eating this delicious creation!
