Chipotle Hollandaise Sauce

  • 3 Egg Yolks
  • 2 tsp. Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tbsp. Chipotle Peppers in adobe sauce
  • 1/4 Tsp. Sugar
  • 1.5 Stuck Unsalted Butter

Eggs Benedict

  • 1 can Large Biscuits Or English Muffins
  • 4 Eggs
  • Prepared Guacamole
  • 1 Lb. Chorizo Sausage
  • Cilantro, Jalapenos & Cayenne Pepper for Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once done, drain any excess grease and ser aside.
  • Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for about 12v minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until hot.
  • In a blender combine egg yolks, lemon juice chipotle peppers, salt and sugar.
  • Blend for about 10 seconds until well combined.
  • With the blender running on medium, slowly stream in the hot melted butter.
  • Continue blending for another 30 seconds until the sauce is emulsified and smooth.
  • If the hollandaise is too thick, add a Tbsp. of hot water and blend until desired consistency is reached.

Poaching the Eggs

  • Fill a saucepan with approximately 3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add a teaspoon of white vinegar to help the eggs coagulate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water by stirring with a spoon, then carefully crack an egg into the center. Let it cook for about 4 minutes for a soft poach.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg and set aside. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
  • Slice the baked biscuits in half and place the bottoms on serving plates. Spread a layer of prepared guacamole on each biscuit half. Add a generous spoonful of cooked chorizo over the guacamole. Place a poached egg on top of the chorizo layer. Drizzle the chipotle hollandaise sauce over the poached egg. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeƱos, and a dash of ground red pepper for an extra kick.
