Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Arepas (pre-made or homemade)
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked, seasoned)
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 cup Butter
- 3 Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Water (for thinning sauce)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Heat the arepas according to package instructions or cook them fresh if making homemade. Keep warm and set aside.
Step 2: In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3: For the chipotle hollandaise, blend the egg yolks, chipotle peppers, lime juice, and salt in a blender. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the melted butter in a thin stream until the sauce emulsifies. Add the water to thin the sauce if necessary. Keep warm.
Step 4: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a gentle boil and add the vinegar. Lower the heat to a simmer.
Step 5: Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them one at a time into the simmering water. Poach each egg for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a paper-towel-lined plate.
Step 6: To assemble, place a warm arepa on each serving plate. Top each arepa with a generous spoonful of seasoned black beans.
Step 7: Place a poached egg carefully over the black beans.
Step 8: Drizzle the chipotle hollandaise sauce over the eggs and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Step 9: Serve immediately and enjoy your Huevos Benedict!
