1
Prepare the Maitake Mushrooms
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the maitake mushrooms, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden and tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Fry the Eggs
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Crack the farm eggs into the skillet and fry them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3
Prepare the Cheese
While the eggs are frying, slice the manchego cheese into thin pieces. You may also lightly toast them in a separate pan until slightly melted.
4
Assemble the Dish
On a plate, place the fried eggs, top with the sautéed maitake mushrooms, and add slices of manchego cheese. Drizzle the romesco sauce over the top.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Queso Frito warm.
