Delicious Mexican Eggs Benedict with Spicy Chorizo Twist

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 butternut squash (peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling squash)
  • 1 large avocado (smashed with a fork)
  • 170 grams ground chorizo (approx. 5 sausages, removed from casings)
  • 4 large eggs (for poaching)
  • 1 tsp white vinegar (for poaching eggs)
  • 1 jalapeno (sliced for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro (for garnish)
  • 2 egg yolks (for hollandaise sauce)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (for seasoning)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (for flavor in the hollandaise)
  • 1 tbsp chopped chipotle pepper in adobo (or 1 tsp chipotle powder)
  • 1/4 cup hot melted butter (or ghee for Paleo/Whole30)

Instructions

  1. Peel the butternut squash and slice it into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
  2. Heat your grill to medium-high. Brush the squash slices with olive oil and grill for about 5-6 minutes per side until they’re tender and sport beautiful grill marks.
  3. Transfer the grilled squash to an oven set on low heat to keep warm while you prepare the rest of the dish.
  4. In a tall container, add the egg yolks, salt, lime juice, and chipotle pepper. Blend with an immersion blender for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  5. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the melted butter until the mixture thickens and becomes silky.
  6. In a skillet, cook the ground chorizo, breaking it up until crumbly and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
  7. Boil a pot of water with white vinegar. Reduce the heat to medium-low, whirl the water, and crack an egg into the center. Poach for 4 minutes and lift out with a slotted spoon. Repeat for the remaining eggs.
  8. On a plate, stack the grilled butternut squash slices. Top each with smashed avocado, a generous scoop of chorizo, and a perfectly poached egg. Drizzle with the chipotle hollandaise and garnish with jalapeño slices and cilantro.
