Ingredients

  • 1(15 ounce) packagechorizo sausage
  • 1(8 ounce) cansliced mushrooms, drained
  • ¼largeonion, diced
  • 1(22 ounce) candiced tomatoes
  • 2cupschicken broth, or more to taste
  • 1(6 ounce) cantomato paste
  • 1loafFrench bread, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • ¼cupbutter, or to taste
  • 2tablespoonsbaking soda
  • 8eggs, or more to taste
  • ½cupcrumbled queso fresco
  • ⅔cupMexican crema, crema fresca

  • Directions

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo with mushrooms and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard fat.

    Combine diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and tomato paste in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir in the chorizo mixture and most of the crema, reserving a small amount to drizzle on top later. Cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until stew is the texture of a thick chili, at least 30 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    Lightly butter both sides of the bread slices and place on a baking sheet.

    Toast in the preheated oven, turning bread halfway, for 10 minutes.

    Fill a pot with water and add baking soda. Bring to a boil. Add eggs and boil for exactly 5 minutes and 45 seconds. Remove eggs and immediately place into an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Remove shells.

    Place eggs into the chorizo stew to re-warm them. Top with queso fresco and drizzle with the remaining crema. Serve in bowls with pieces of toasted bread.



    Cook's Notes:

    Half-and-half can be substituted for the crema, if desired.

    Poaching eggs the "regular" way will also work well.
