1
Make the Corn Cake
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
2
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
3
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the diced green chili.
4
Cook the Corn Cake
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each corn cake and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
5
Poach the Eggs
In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk.
6
Assemble the Dish
Place a corn cake on a plate, top it with a poached egg, and serve immediately. Optionally, top with salsa or avocado.
