chipotle eggs benedicts with pulled pork
INGREDIENTS
3/4 Cup Butter, unsalted
3 Whole egg yolk
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
To Taste salt
To Taste black pepper
1 Tablespoon Chipotle Peppers in Adobe Sauce
6 Whole eggs
1 Teaspoon Vinegar or Lemon Juice
4 Whole English Muffins
To Taste Pork, pulled, leftover
PREPARATION
Steps
1
Chipotle Hollandaise Sauce: Cut 2 Tbsp of the butter into small pieces and keep in the fridge. Melt the remaining butter and keep warm. In a heat-proof bowl, beat the egg yolks until thick and pale, about 5 minutes
2
Whisk in the water, lemon juice and 1 Tbsp of the cold butter. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and whisk until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. When thick, you'll start to see the bottom of the bowl between strokes with the whisk. Remove the bowl from heat and immediately whisk in the remaining 1 Tbsp of cold butter.
3
Slowly pour the melted butter into the mixture and whisk until all butter is added and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 to 2 Tbsp of warm water to thin it. Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste and add 1 tsp to 1 Tbsp of chipotle in adobo sauce to desired heat.
4
Submerge the bottom of the bowl in warm water to keep the sauce warm while you poach your eggs.
5
Poached Eggs: Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil on stove. Add 1 tsp of vinegar or lemon juice for roughly every cup of water. Crack the egg into a large spoon.
6
Slide the egg in the center of the pan. For runny yolks, cook eggs for 2-3 minutes. For a more well-cooked yolk, poach for 4-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove eggs from water.
7
Toasted English Muffin: When ready to cook, start the Z Grill according to grill instructions. Set the temperature to 450 degrees F (set to HIGH setting) and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
8
Brush English muffin halves with melted butter or oil and toast directly on grill grate for about 3 minutes.
9
To assemble, layer the English muffin with leftover pulled pork, a poached egg and the chipotle hollandaise on top. Enjoy!
