Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 English muffins, halved
- 4 slices of cooked bacon or chorizo
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cilantro for garnish
Preparation of Chipotle Hollandaise
To make the spicy hollandaise, blend the chipotle peppers with melted butter until smooth. In a double boiler, whisk the egg yolks with lemon juice until thickened. Gradually add the chipotle butter mixture, whisking constantly until the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and set aside.
Assembling the Breakfast Benedict
Begin by toasting the English muffins until golden brown. On each muffin half, layer slices of avocado and a cooked bacon or chorizo slice. Carefully poach the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Place a poached egg on top of each prepared muffin half.
Generously spoon the chipotle hollandaise over the eggs. Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh finish. Serve immediately for a delightful combination of smoky, spicy, and creamy flavors.
