Mexican Eggs Benedict

12 · May 26, 2017 · 2 Comments

Eggs Benedict is one of the most popular breakfast dishes served in the United States, so I gave it a Mexican makeover with chorizo, ancho chile hollandaise, and Herdez Guacamole Salsa.

I would eat breakfast food for three meals a day if nobody prevented me from doing it. I LOVE poached eggs, and I’m no stranger to spreading chorizo on avocado toast, so I already knew Herdez Guacamole Salsa would pair perfectly with this dish.

The creamy texture of real avocado and the spicy kick of salsa verde is what makes the salsa so unique. You can use it for topping, dipping and cooking—there’s no wrong way to do it!…

Chorizo avocado toast with poached eggs

Avocado toast may be all the rage, but you haven’t really lived until you’ve had chorizo and avocado toast topped with a poached egg.

This recipe has been one of my long-lasting breakfast obsessions. After all, who doesn’t love avocado toast? But I can’t just make plain avocado toast, guys. No. I had to put some chorizo on it, too. Because… why not? Once you make this creation at home, you’ll be asking yourself why you didn’t think of this sooner. And with a poached egg perched atop, a runny yolk sprinkled with some fancy flaked sea salt just puts this dish into a category above and beyond your usual breakfast.

Huevos al albañil

Holiday vacation is my favorite time of year because it means I have time to make a special breakfast every day! This version of huevos al albañil, also known as bricklayer’s eggs, is a popular breakfast dish in Mexico.

The key to what makes huevos al albañil different from other egg dishes is that the eggs are scrambled and mixed with salsa, and cooked together so the salsa fuses with the eggs. They shouldn’t be too soupy when cooked; just wet enough that the salsa keeps everything moist. Whether you prefer to use salsa verde or salsa roja is up to you! The dish is served layered from the bottom up with a fried tortilla, beans, a scrambled egg and salsa mixture and then toppings such as crema mexicana and queso cotija, if desired.
