For the Base:

  • 1 butternut squash peeled and cut into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large avocado mashed until creamy with a fork
  • 170 grams ground chorizo approximately 5 chorizo sausages, casings removed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 jalapeño sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

For the Chipotle Hollandaise:

  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce or 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • ¼ cup hot melted butter or ghee for Paleo/Whole30

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Butternut Squash Rounds: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange butternut squash rounds on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are soft and golden brown.
  • Cook the Chorizo: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chorizo until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles. Set aside.
  • Poach the Eggs: Fill a saucepan with water and add the vinegar, bringing it to a simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set and yolks remain runny.
  • Make the Chipotle Hollandaise: In a blender, add the egg yolks, salt, lime juice, and chipotle pepper. Blend for a few seconds until combined. With the blender running on low, slowly stream in the hot melted butter or ghee until the mixture is smooth and thick.
  • Assemble: Place a roasted butternut squash round on each plate, then layer with a spoonful of smashed avocado, a scoop of chorizo, and a poached egg. Drizzle with the chipotle hollandaise sauce, and garnish with sliced jalapeños and chopped cilantro.
  • Serve: Serve immediately, enjoying each flavorful, layered bite!
