Ingredients
Instructions
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add crumbled chorizo and cook, stirring, until browned and crisp, about 4 minutes.
Transfer chorizo to a plate and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet; toss in the diced eggplant, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, and sauté until tender and golden, about 8 minutes.
Return the chorizo to the skillet, mixing it evenly with the eggplant.
Create two small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well; cover the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3‑4 minutes.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, let it melt for 30 seconds, then garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
