Method

Breakfast

  1. 1

    Sauté aromatics

    In a skillet over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add the onion (small) and minced garlic; sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Bloom mole and start sauce

    Stir in the mole poblano sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes to bloom the flavors. Pour in the chicken broth gradually while whisking to create a smooth base.

  3. 3

    Season and simmer

    Add salt, ground cumin, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the dark chocolate and simmer 8-10 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and is glossy. Taste and adjust salt.

  4. 4

    Cook eggs

    While the mole simmers, heat a separate skillet with a small amount of oil. Fry the eggs sunny-side up until whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish and plate

    Spoon mole onto warm plates. Top with a fried egg per serving. Garnish with crumbled queso fresco, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Serve with warm corn tortillas on the side.
