Instructions

1. Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400°F. Thinly slice half the chorizo into rounds and dice the other half. Cut potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Halve, peel, and finely dice the red onion. Halve and pit the avocado, scoop out the flesh, and slice thinly.
2. Add the chorizo rounds to a large pan over medium heat. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the oil is rendered and the rounds are crispy, about 4–5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3. Increase heat to medium-high. Add the potatoes and diced chorizo to the pan, tossing to coat. Cook until the potatoes are crisped, about 15 minutes. If the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of oil. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the hash to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
4. Split the brioche buns in half and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle a handful of cheddar cheese on each bun top. Toast in the oven until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown, 2–4 minutes.
5. Carefully wipe out the pan with a paper towel, then heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into a small bowl, checking for shell bits, then gently slide them into the pan. Cook sunny-side up to your desired doneness, 2–4 minutes.
6. Layer the chorizo rounds and avocado slices on the bun bottoms. Top each with a fried egg and the cheesy bun top. Serve immediately with the potato hash and any remaining avocado or chorizo on the side.
