Queso fresco is a tangy fresh cheese usually made from cow's milk. Widely use in Hispanic cuisine in a variety of dishes, it has different names depending on the country of provenance, though most recipes for making queso fresco are pretty standard. Whole milk and rennet are usually the base for queso fresco, although many make similarly textured versions using lime juice or vinegar instead. Many home cooks, from Mexico and deep into South America, make their own queso at home to eat with varied recipes or on its own as a tasty snack. Arepas, elote, pupusas, taquitos, and thousands of other dishes get a tangy and refreshing touch with this delicious cheese. As it doesn't melt, queso fresco won't make a greasy mess when added to eggs but will maintain its shape, providing the scrambled egg a delicious, fatty texture. Queso fresco is widely available in most grocery stores in the cheese refrigerator, and it is certainly easy to find in Hispanic and Latin markets all over the United States. The closest other cheese, though a lot tangier, is feta.

Make these eggs for a quick breakfast and serve with your favorite toast or waffle. Use it as filling for flour tortillas and top with seasoned black beans, cilantro, avocado, and hot sauce for a quick lunch "fresco" wrap. Serve it with a green salad for an easy low-carb meal, or simply eat on their own, as a serving of these eggs makes a generous and tasty meal. Serve with hot sauce on the side if you're a fan of spicy food.
