Ingredients

  • 1 large poblano chile
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil, fresh-rendered pork lard or bacon drippings
  • 1/2 medium white or red onion, sliced 1/8 inch thick
  • A big handful (about 2 ounces) maitake, oyster, cremini or button mushrooms—break the maitake or oysters into about ½-inch pieces, slice the cremini or buttons ¼-inch thick
  • 6 to 8 large epazote leaves (plus extra for garnish) if you have them (if you don’t, use roughly chopped cilantro, flatleaf parsley or basil—but add it just before cracking in the eggs)
  • 1 15-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
  • Salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup broken pieces of fresh goat or fresco cheese or about ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • Fresh black pepper
