Roasting Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice sweet potatoes into rounds and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- They should be golden brown and tender when ready, providing a deliciously sweet base for your Mexican Eggs Benedict.
Preparing Chipotle Hollandaise
- In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Gently warm the unsalted butter until melted and let it cool slightly.
- With the blender running, slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg mixture to emulsify. Add chipotle in adobo sauce and blend until smooth and velvety.
Cooking Chorizo
- In a skillet over medium heat, add your chopped chorizo, cooking it until browned and heated through, for about 7–10 minutes.
- Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and enhance the flavors. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside.
Poaching Eggs
- Fill a shallow pan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar to help the eggs hold their shape.
- Crack the eggs gently into the water and poach for 3–4 minutes until the whites are set yet the yolks remain runny.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the eggs from the water and place them on a paper towel to drain.
Assembling the Dish
- On individual plates, layer the roasted sweet potato rounds as the base. Top each with a serving of cooked chorizo, followed by creamy avocado slices.
- Carefully place one poached egg on top of each stack.
Drizzling and Garnishing
- Drizzle the chipotle hollandaise over the top of the poached eggs. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
- The combination of flavors and textures will surely impress everyone at brunch!
