The ultimate breakfast sandwich with Swiss and chorizo hash browns
The Deets
The ultimate hangover breakfast sandwich: Swiss and chorizo hash brown on a bagel with avocado mash and a sunny side egg. I fancied up a classic frozen hashbrown with scallions and chorizo and then fried an egg right on top 👌🏼You could totally use home fries or breakfast potatoes if you want, but I found that hashbrowns gave a better crunch and held together better for frying and egg on top. I love chorizo so much especially cooking with it for breakfast.
Chorizo is a flavorful, spiced sausage that comes in two main varieties: Spanish, which is cured and smoked, and Mexican, which is raw and typically spiced with paprika, garlic, and chili. In breakfast dishes, Mexican chorizo is a favorite because it adds a rich, savory kick to the meal. Its bold, slightly smoky flavor pairs beautifully with eggs, potatoes, and cheese, making it an ideal ingredient for breakfast tacos, burritos, and sandwiches. The spices in chorizo, like cumin and chili, also provide a warming, comforting element, perfect for starting your day with something hearty and flavorful. Plus, its crumbly texture allows it to mix well with other ingredients, ensuring each bite is packed with taste.
Let me know in the comments if you make this! It’s the ultimate mix of flavors and textures for a delicious and filling breakfast. For more breakfast ideas check out my other recipes here.
