Carnitas Benedict with Chipotle Hollandaise
Ingredients
  • 3/4 pound carnitas (cooked pulled pork)
  • 4 English muffins, split
  • 3 avocados, pitted and peeled
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1 (.9 ounce) package hollandaise sauce mix (such as KnorrĀ®)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 8 large eggs
Instructions
1
Position the middle oven rack and a second rack approximately 6 inches from the top. Preheat the oven's heating element to its highest temperature setting. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2
Arrange the carnitas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet under the preheated heating element and reheat until the edges of the carnitas are golden brown, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
3
Concurrently, toast English muffin halves using a toaster. Remove the toasted muffins from the toaster and wrap them in aluminum foil to keep warm.
4
Remove the carnitas from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Turn off the heating element and preheat the oven to its lowest temperature setting.
5
Return the carnitas and English muffins to the oven to maintain a warm temperature until needed.
6
Combine ripe avocados, freshly squeezed lime juice, and salt in a small bowl. Use a fork to gently mash the ingredients together and set aside.
7
Melt butter in a small saucepan over high heat. Whisk the hollandaise sauce mix into the melted butter until well combined. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk in milk. Return to the saucepan, add a pinch of chipotle powder, and whisk constantly over high heat until boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer, whisking frequently, for 1 minute. Keep the sauce warm while preparing eggs.
8
Heat approximately 2 to 3 inches of water in a large, shallow saucepan until boiling. Add a splash of vinegar and lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Crack 1 egg into a small ramekin. Carefully lower the ramekin to the surface of the water and ease the egg out into the pan. Repeat with remaining eggs, poaching up to 4 at a time. Poach eggs until the whites are completely set and yolks are slightly soft, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining eggs.
9
Place 2 English muffin halves on each plate. Top each half with avocado, carnitas, and 1 poached egg, then drizzle with hollandaise sauce.
