Directions

1

Char tomatoes over gas flame until lightly blistered. Cut tomato in half; scoop out center, leaving a firm shell. Reserve.

2

To make California Avocado Sauce, mash avocado until creamy with bits of avocado remaining. (Do not puree.) Whisk in lime juice; reserve. Stew shallot in Tequila until almost no liquid remains. Stir in cream; bring to a boil. Whisk in butter; stir in reserved avocado mixture, salt, and pepper. Reserve.

3

To make Spicy Hash, stew vegetables, sprinkled with a little salt, covered, in a little butter and oil until soft, about 10 minutes. Mix in ham or sausage; reserve.

4

Warm 1/3 cup reserved sauce; keep warm.

5

Film a pan with melted butter; heat. Put 2/3 cup hash mixture in pan; flatten. Fry, turning frequently, until browned and crisp; keep warm.

6

Crack an egg into each tomato half; season with salt and pepper. Place in steamer until desired doneness.

7

To assemble, mound hash in center of the serving plate. Arrange two tomato halves on either side of hash. Divide sauce, spooning half over each egg. Garnish with avocado slices.
