Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 English muffins
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 6 ounces fresh Mexican chorizo
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • In a small skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Slice and toast the English muffins until golden brown. Arrange two halves on each serving plate.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 3 inches of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar if desired to help the eggs hold shape.
  • Crack each egg into a small bowl, then slowly slide it into the simmering water. Poach for 3 to 3.5 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and gently blot with a paper towel.
  • Make the chipotle hollandaise: In a blender, combine egg yolks, lime juice, and chipotle pepper. Blend until smooth. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the melted butter until the sauce thickens. Season with salt to taste.
  • Slice the avocado and drizzle with a little lime juice. Place a few slices on each toasted muffin half.
  • Add a spoonful of cooked chorizo over the avocado, then top with a poached egg.
  • Spoon the chipotle hollandaise generously over each egg. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the bold and creamy layers of flavor.
