Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Chorizo — Ensure the chorizo is fully cooked before serving to avoid any risk of foodborne illness.
  • Chimichurri sauce — You can make your own chimichurri sauce by combining fresh parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and spices in a blender or food processor.
  • Crusty bread — Choose a rustic bread with a crispy crust to add texture to the dish.
  • Tomatoes — Opt for ripe and juicy tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Avocado — Select avocados that are slightly soft to the touch but not overly mushy.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a spicier kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the chorizo while cooking.
  • Experiment with different types of bread, such as ciabatta or baguette, to add variety to your Argentinian Breakfast.
  • If you prefer a runny yolk, cook the eggs sunny-side up. For a firmer yolk, cook them over-easy or over-medium.
  • Serve the Argentinian Breakfast with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad to add a refreshing element to the meal.
  • Don't forget to enjoy this breakfast with a cup of traditional Argentinian mate tea for an authentic experience.
