Mexican Eggs Benedict
Our Mexican Eggs Benedict is a bold and flavorful twist on the classic brunch favorite, featuring spiced turkey chorizo, roasted butternut squash, and perfectly cooked eggs topped with a smoky chipotle-lime hollandaise sauce. Instead of the traditional English muffin, this dish swaps in a hearty vegetable base, complemented by creamy guacamole and fresh jalapeño for a spicy kick.

Ingredients
Pantry
1 Lime
1 Jalapeno
Fridge and Freezer
1 bag cubed Butternut Squash
4 servings Guacamole
1 lb Ground Turkey Chorizo, thawed
6 Eggs
2 tbs Chipotle in Adobo
¼ cup Butter
Directions
Wash hands with soap and water. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a baking sheet. Wash and dry jalapeno and lime. Half and juice the lime. Carefully seed and chop the jalapeno (see video for safety tips).
Toss the butternut squash with a little oil and spread onto the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and bake until tender, about 20 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and cook the chorizo until browned. Set aside and keep warm.
Heat a little oil in a small skillet over medium high heat. Cook 8 eggs on one side, flip and cook to desired doneness.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites, of the remaining 2 eggs using the video and discard the 2 whites. Melt ¼ cup butter in a microwave-safe bowl. In a blender, combine 2 egg yolks, ¼ tsp salt, 1 tbs lime juice, and the chipotle in adobo. With the blender running, drizzle in the butter forming a sauce.
To serve, top butternut squash with chorizo, guacamole, and eggs. Drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with jalapeno, if desired. This recipe makes 4 servings. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
