Ingredients

Scale

For the base and toppings

1 large sweet potato or butternut squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large avocado, mashed with a fork
5 chorizo sausage links, about 10 ounces ground chorizo
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

For the chipotle hollandaise

2 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle pepper in adobo, or 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
1/4 cup hot melted butter or ghee

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the sweet potato rounds do not stick.
Slice the sweet potato into thick rounds, about 1 inch each. Brush both sides of every slice with olive oil, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Roast for about 20 minutes, turning the rounds over halfway through the cooking time. They should come out tender enough to pierce easily with a fork, but still firm enough to hold the toppings.
While the sweet potato roasts, make the hollandaise. Add the egg yolks, salt, lime juice, and chipotle to a tall cup or narrow container. Use an immersion blender to blend for about 30 seconds. With the blender running, slowly pour in the hot melted butter or ghee in a thin stream. Keep blending until the sauce turns thick, smooth, and creamy. If you do not have an immersion blender, use a regular blender and drizzle the butter in gradually.
Cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat. Break it apart with a fork or spatula as it cooks so it becomes a fine, crumbly texture. Continue until the meat is browned and fully cooked. Remove it from the heat and set it aside.
Fill a medium pot with about 3 inches of water and add the white vinegar. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat so it stays at a gentle simmer. Use a spoon to stir the water in a circular motion and create a whirlpool. Crack one egg into the center of the swirling water and let it poach for about 4 minutes, or until the white is set and the yolk stays soft. Lift it out carefully with a slotted spoon and transfer it to a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
To assemble, place two roasted sweet potato rounds on each plate. Top each round with a generous spoonful of smashed avocado, followed by some of the cooked chorizo. Set a poached egg on top of each stack, then spoon the chipotle hollandaise over everything.
Finish with sliced jalapeño and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while the eggs are warm and the hollandaise is silky.
