Enjoy a delicious twist on the classic Eggs Benedict with this hearty recipe featuring crispy bacon, perfectly poached eggs, and a smoky chipotle mayo drizzle. Perfect for brunch or a special breakfast, this dish combines rich flavors and satisfying textures.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices of bacon
- English muffins, halved
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
Preparation
Start by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Meanwhile, prepare the chipotle mayo drizzle by blending mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
Toast the English muffins until golden brown. Assemble each Benedict by placing a muffin half on a plate, then layering with a slice of bacon, a poached egg, and a drizzle of the chipotle mayo. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley for added color and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or roasted potatoes for a complete brunch experience. The smoky chipotle mayo adds a spicy kick that complements the richness of the eggs and bacon.
