Ingredients

10 servings

  • 1 (15 ounce) package chorizo sausage
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
  • ¼ large onion, diced
  • 1 (22 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken broth, or more to taste
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 loaf French bread, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • ¼ cup butter, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • 8 eggs, or more to taste
  • ½ cup crumbled queso fresco
  • ⅔ cup Mexican crema, crema fresca

Instructions

  • 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.
