Ingredients
Pork and beef chorizo 4 oz or 113g
Cheddar cheese ½ cup, shredded or 57g
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- To cook your spaghetti squash, pierce all over and microwave on high for 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes then cut in half, remove seeds and scoop out flesh (carefully, it will still be HOT).
- Meanwhile, cook your chorizo in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the squash and salsa verde and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Make 4 wells into the mixture and crack an egg into each one.
- Bake in a preheated oven for about 18 minutes (longer if you want your yolks firm). Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
