Preparation

Step 1

Melt 3 Tbsp. butter in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until brown and moisture evaporates, about 10 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Reduce heat to medium; melt remaining 2 Tbsp. butter. Add 2 Tbsp. scallions and cayenne; cook until scallions soften, 1–2 minutes. Sprinkle flour into pan and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in broth, milk, and 1/4 cup sherry until smooth. Simmer sauce until thick, about 7 minutes; season with additional sherry, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir in chicken, peas, pimentos, and mushroom mixture; simmer to heat through, 3–5 minutes. Serve hash over Waffle Hash Browns; garnish with Manchego and sliced scallion greens.

Hash Browns:
Preheat waffle iron to medium high according to manufacturer’s instructions. Combine potatoes, scallions, garlic, flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir in egg white and oil until potato mixture is coated; let sit 5 minutes. Coat waffle iron with nonstick spray. Spread potato mixture evenly to edges on bottom half of iron, then press top half down firmly onto potatoes. Cook potato mixture until golden brown and crisp on top, about 15 minutes (ignore or reset automatic alerts for doneness). Carefully remove hash browns from waffle iron.
