This is a recipe for Chipotle Benedict Sauce for Eggs Benedict. A spicy Southwestern flair to a classic breakfast. Slices of bacon to replace the usual Canadian Bacon makes this a great version.
Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce quickly transform a basic Hollandaise Sauce into a spicy eggs Benedict chipotle breakfast. Add some bacon and you’ve got a delicious and unique version of Eggs Benedict.
For too many years than I can count I’ve been in love with Eggs Benedict. Our first date was a brunch at the historic and famous Brown Palace Hotel in Downtown Denver. I saw Benny across the room on another woman’s plate, it was love at first sight and the affair began.
You never forget your first Eggs Benedict. I truly believe it was due to the English Muffins that were beautifully house made by the hotel. There was something about that texture that I’ve not been able to find anywhere else. I have a hunch they were English Crumpets. But with all that said, Bayes English Muffins are just fine for the Benedicts served from my kitchen.
Wanting to create a Benedict Sauce with a kick, I turned to one of my favorite canned ingredients, Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce.
Voila! There ya have it: Benedict Sauce with Chipotle peppers and the adobo sauce that comes with it.
How to make Chipotle Benedict Sauce
This is an easy transition. Just prepare your favorite Hollandaise Sauce. I try to make my own Hollandaise. But please don’t hesitate to grab a packet of Hollandaise mix at the store to make this recipe even easier and a quicker breakfast option. I haven’t found a jarred version that I like – too heavy – too thick – too odd.
So once you have your Hollandaise sauce prepared just add some Adobo sauce to taste. I had an open can of Chipolte Peppers in Adobo Sauce so I just spooned out a couple of teaspoons of the adobo sauce only and added it to the prepared Hollandaise.
You may like a little more heat or smokey flavor, so add just a little at a time to your taste. I suppose if you just can’t help yourself, you could even add some of the Chipolte peppers, but be careful, those things are HOT, I’d most certainly remove all seeds and veins. After all, we want a subtle and delicate flavor for these creamy poached eggs.
For this recipe I crisscrossed 6 half slices of cooked bacon on the toasted muffin, topped with poached eggs, and drizzled on some of the chipotle Benedict sauce. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro and add some fresh berries and sliced fruit to the plate and you have a beautiful breakfast. I decided to name it Chipotle Eggs Benedict, Adobo Eggs Benedict just didn’t ring with romance.
