Questions

Can I make Huevos a la Divorciada dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/2 cup queso fresco, crumbled, 1/4 cup sour cream. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor); the sour cream for thick coconut yogurt with a squeeze of lemon. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Huevos a la Divorciada keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Huevos a la Divorciada?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
