Breakfast Pupusa Plate with Eggs & Pickled Slaw

Step 1

Combine sliced cabbage with vinegar, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.25 cup water in a bowl. Let sit while you make pupusas.

Step 2

Mix masa harina and warm water in a separate bowl until you have a soft, pliable dough (like Play-Doh).

Step 3

Combine diced tomatoes, minced jalapeño, and pinch of salt in a small bowl for salsa.

Step 4

Wet your hands. Scoop 3 tbsp dough, flatten to a disc, fill center with 1 tbsp beans and 2 tbsp cheese.

Step 5

Fold edges over filling and gently flatten to a 3-inch patty. Repeat for remaining dough (makes 4 pupusas).

Step 6

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

Step 7

Pan-fry pupusas 4 minutes per side without moving until deep golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.

Step 8

Add 1 tbsp oil to same skillet. Crack 4 eggs in, season with salt and pepper, fry until whites set but yolks jiggle.

Step 9

Divide pupusas and eggs between 2 plates. Top with pickled cabbage slaw, tomato salsa, and cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lime wedges if desired.
