Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Arrange one oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and another rack about 12 inches from the broiler; heat the broiler. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the husked tomatillos and halved, seeded jalapeño with olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt. Broil on the top rack until the vegetables are tender and charred in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the broiled tomatillos and jalapeño to a blender.
-
Step 2.
While the tomatillos and jalapeño broil, place the corn tortillas on a second rimmed baking sheet. Top each tortilla with 1/4 cup of the shredded Cheddar cheese, leaving a slight well in the center. Carefully crack one egg into each well (the cheese helps prevent the eggs from spilling off the tortillas). Broil on the middle rack to your desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes for a runny yolk.

Step 3.
Add the cilantro leaves, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt to the blender with the broiled vegetables. Puree until smooth to make the salsa. Serve the tacos topped with the salsa, and optionally with chopped cooked bacon and sliced radishes.
