Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat 1/8-inch of vegetable oil in an
8-inch skillet over medium heat, just until hot. Cook the tortillas, one

and then cut them into small pieces. (NOTE: You could use tortilla chips
where they are available.) Cook and stir the bacon, onion, and garlic in
the margarine and 1 tbls of vegetable oil, in a 10-inch skillet until the
onion is tender. Stir in the tomatoes, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer
uncovered for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the spinach, cover and
cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Line the bottom of an
ungreased square 8 X 8 X 2-inch pan with the tortilla chips or pieces.
Spread the spinach mixture over them. Cut the eggs lengthwise into halves
and arrange them on the spinach mixture. Pour the Basic Green Sauce over
the eggs; sprinkle with the cheese and bake, uncovered until the cheese is
melted, abut 15 minutes.
