  • Blend the tomatoes with the chicken broth and cilantro, season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat and pour in the sauce. Cook for 10 minutes or until the sauce reaches a semi-thick consistency. Adjust seasoning and remove from heat.
  • For the patties: Separate the egg whites from the yolks of San Juan® eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
