Ingredients for Black Bean Cake Benedict

Method

Directions for Black Bean Cake Benedict

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Bean Cakes

    In a bowl, mash the black beans until smooth. Stir in breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Form into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Black Bean Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the black bean patties until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Spinach

    In the same skillet, add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Tomato-Hollandaise Sauce

    In a small pot, melt butter over low heat. Whisk in egg yolks and lemon juice until combined. Add diced tomato and cook until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Toast the English Muffins

    Split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Benedict

    On each toasted muffin half, place a black bean cake, top with sautéed spinach, drizzle with tomato-hollandaise, and garnish with salsa verde.
