Method

For the Chorizo Benedict

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo sausage until it is browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to crumble the sausage evenly. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the English Muffins

    Slice the English muffins in half and toast them lightly on a grill or in a toaster until golden brown. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin pieces and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar (optional) to help the egg whites set. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Benedict

    On each toasted English muffin half, layer cooked chorizo, avocado slices, and a poached egg. Top with chipotle hollandaise sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

For the Chipotle Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 6

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until it is completely liquid. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 7

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until they are pale and slightly thickened.

  3. 8

    Combine and Emulsify

    Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.

  4. 9

    Add Chipotle and Season

    Stir in the chipotle in adobo sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and keep warm until ready to serve.
