Ingredients

For the Mushroom Caps:

  • 6 portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1, 16 ounce package frozen hash browns, or about 5 cups shredded potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound chorizo
  • 6 eggs

For the Cilantro Sauce:

  • ½ cup cilantro, leaves and stems
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, about 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place the cleaned mushroom caps on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon oil, then season with ½ teaspoon sea salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, divided evenly amongst the mushrooms.
  • Add the 3 tablespoons ghee or olive oil to a large pan over medium heat, then add hash browns and season with remaining ½ teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, then flip, and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and cooked through.
  • Fill the mushroom caps with the hash browns, then add the chorizo to a large pan over medium heat (you may use the same pan you cooked the hash browns in) and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, breaking up the mixture into small crumbles as it cooks.
  • Divide the chorizo evenly between the mushroom caps, layering on top of the hash browns.
  • Make a small well in the chorizo and hash browns on each mushroom, then crack an egg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake at 350°F for 18 minutes for a runny egg yolk, and 25 minutes for a hard egg yolk.
  • While the mushroom caps are cooking, blend together the cilantro, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Remove the mushroom caps from the oven, let cool, then drizzle with the cilantro sauce.
