Corn Cake with Green Chili

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Corn Cake

    In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter until combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the diced green chili.

  4. 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. 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. 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.
