Ingredients
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
- Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Egg yolks
- 3 for the hollandaise sauce
- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 peppers with 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons
- Eggs
- 4 for poaching
- Canadian bacon
- 4 slices
- Butter
- 1 tablespoon
- English muffins
- 2, split and toasted
Instructions
- Start by melting the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the Canadian bacon and cook until it is nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side. Once cooked, set it aside on a plate.
- Prepare a pot of water and add the vinegar. Bring this to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs individually into a bowl and then gently tip them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set, but the yolks remain runny. Carefully remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and set them aside.
- To create the chipotle hollandaise sauce, combine the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, egg yolks, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- To assemble the Chipotle Eggs Benedict, place a slice of the browned Canadian bacon on each half of the toasted English muffins. Top each with a perfectly poached egg and generously drizzle with the homemade chipotle hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy this spicy twist on a classic breakfast dish!
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, replace the Canadian bacon with a slice of tomato or avocado.
- The key to a good poached egg is fresh eggs and the right water temperature. The water should be just simmering, not boiling.
- If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the amount of chipotle pepper or adobo sauce.
