Cornbread Eggs Benedict with Chipotle Greek Yogurt Hollandaise
Serves: 4 servings
 
Ingredients
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 1 cup greek yogurt yogurt
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1½ to 3 tablespoons adobo sauce (the sauce that canned chipotles are packed in)
  • Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • FOR EGGS BENEDICT:
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 pieces left over cornbread, cut into square slices about 1 inch thick
  • 4 slices thick cut country ham
  • 1 large avocado, sliced
Instructions
  1. Make the sauce: Bring about 1-2 inches of water to a simmer in the bottom of a saucepan. Find a bowl that will rest within the pan without touching the bottom or the water (remove some water if necessary).
  2. In the bowl, whisk together greek yogurt, egg yolks, lemon juice, and garlic. Place over the simmering water. Whisk frequently until the mixture is hot and thickened just slightly, about 8-10 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit until ready for serving.
  3. Make the eggs benedict: Poach the 4 whole eggs according to this http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/perfect-poached-eggs-recipe.html method.
  4. While eggs are poaching, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When butter is melted and pan is hot, add cornbread and lightly toast and brown on both sides, about 1-2 min per side. Remove and set on a plate. Add ham to the pan, and sear about 1-2 min per side, until slightly browned and warm.
  5. To assemble: place ham atop corn bread slices. Top with avocado slices, then poached eggs. Spoon warm hollandaise over the top of each eggs benedict and serve.
