Breakfast Special - Sandwich

Method

Breakfast Special - Sandwich

1

Prepare roll

Split the breakfast roll horizontally and lightly toast cut sides in a dry skillet or toaster until golden, about 1–2 minutes. Butter the cut sides with the unsalted butter and set aside, toasted-side up.

2

Cook chorizo

Heat vegetable oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh chorizo, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer cooked chorizo to a small bowl and wipe skillet clean if it has excess fat.

3

Scramble eggs

Crack eggs into a small bowl, add kosher salt and black pepper, and whisk until combined. Return skillet to medium-low heat and melt a small pat of butter (or use a little oil). Pour eggs into skillet and cook gently, stirring frequently, until soft-curd scrambled and just set, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.

4

Assemble filling

Fold the cooked chorizo into the scrambled eggs until evenly distributed. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the hot egg-chorizo mixture so it melts slightly, about 30 seconds. If using cilantro, fold most of it in now and reserve a pinch for garnish.

5

Prepare avocado

Scoop the flesh from half an avocado and mash lightly with a fork in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of the lime wedge (if using). Spread the mashed avocado on the bottom half of the toasted roll.

6

Build sandwich

Spoon the egg-chorizo-cheddar mixture onto the avocado-spread bottom roll. Drizzle the salsa over the eggs (about 2 tablespoons) and add the sour cream on top or on the top roll to prevent sliding. Place the top roll over the filling.

7

Finish and serve

Press gently, cut sandwich in half if desired, and garnish with remaining chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while warm.
