4 servings
For the salsa verde
- 6 medium tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 1 jalapeño, stemmed (halved and seeded for mild heat)
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet limits chili peppers because they can pick up mold once they are dried and stored, but the peppers on this line are used fresh, not dried, so they are likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh chili peppers, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
For the eggs
- 8 large eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions
- 1
Make the salsa verde: Place the tomatillos, jalapeño, and unpeeled garlic cloves in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 8–10 minutes, until the tomatillos are soft and have turned from bright green to olive-drab.

Drain the tomatillos and jalapeño. Slip the garlic out of its skins. Transfer everything to a blender or food processor, add the cilantro, 2 tbsp lime juice, cumin, and 1/2 tsp salt, and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside — the salsa will thicken slightly as it cools.
