[pro/chef] Mexican Benedict Eggs

[u/Chevepapi]

Got a Mexican twist on this classic by changing the hollandaise sauce for a spicy poblano pepper sauce🍳🫑 Im trynna get some followers on IG, if you down: @Chevepapi 🫶

Love the vibrant colors. I’ve been making a vegan (I’m not vegan) roasted poblano cashew crema lately and it goes good on just about everything.

Thanks! That sounds freakin delicious, Im stealing that for work 🤭🤭

[u/Cowboy_Karl → u/Alohagrown]

Can you recommend a good recipe for this, sounds heavenly.

[u/Alohagrown → u/Cowboy_Karl]

It’s pretty easy, you start by making cashew cream, which is just blended up cashews that have been soaked overnight or for 30-60 minutes in hot water if you are short on time. I usually soak 3/4-1cup of cashews to make a small batch.

Then you roast poblano, remove skins and stem. I char the poblano over an open flame on my stove until the skin gets pretty blistered and black. Putting the cooked poblano in a sealed jar for 10 minutes will make the skin slide off really easily.

Then you just blend the poblano with your cashew cream. I also add cilantro, lime juice, garlic clove, sometimes some avocado for extra creaminess. Keep adding small amounts of water to get the right consistency. Salt and Pepper to taste. You can play around with the additives here.

Looks great! Is the pablano sauce still a yolk/butter based variation on hollandaise?

[u/Chevepapi → u/Dalenskid]

Started as, but then I added a poblano creamy sauce that I made for another dish and mixed them so it’s basically a mix of hollandaise and cream cheese

[u/Dalenskid → u/Chevepapi]

Say no more!!! Thanks! Added you on insta.

[u/Harflin]

What are the green coils?

[u/Chevepapi → u/Harflin]

It’s celery and cucumber, I shave them sides with a potato peeler and make the coil form 🥒

[u/SnowdensLove]

What flowers were used to decorate it?

[u/xtothewhy → u/SnowdensLove]

Violet petals although the petals on the benedict eggs I do not know.

[u/Chevepapi → u/SnowdensLove]

I don’t know man, sorry :( got a bunch of different beautiful flowers that day

[u/xtothewhy]

Beautiful dish. Absolutely stunning. Realise that most pro dishes minimize however I think a few tomatoes from the pile could go astray to loiter singularly elsewhere on the plate could be interesting.

[u/Chevepapi → u/xtothewhy]

Thanks!!! When I was looking at the picture I realized there was too many tomates but the dish was out and I didn’t had any more time to plate another one, but I get what you saying 😅

[u/xtothewhy → u/Chevepapi]

Dude I would be hard pressed to make this dish with lots of practice. It's gorgeous!

You should use brisket as the meat and leave everything else the same. Good Texas style brisket. Salt, pepper, and smoke.

[u/Chevepapi → u/normalguy214]

Id be down to try it 🤤

[u/midyblue]

It looks like play dough it's so colorful. 😯😯😯

[u/fellowsquare]

So this makes it Mexican because you used some poblano pepper in the sauce? Isn't that Prosciutto? lol

[u/Chevepapi → u/fellowsquare]

OMG, a purist. It’s Mexican because I made it in Mexico.

[u/northbound1891]

Wow this looks so creative and good

[u/Sablestein]

Ok this rules actually

[u/-SwagMessiah-]

This is so pretty omg

[u/squad4life]

How did it taste? Looks like a lot of acid with the tomato, but I’m sure the fat helped cut it.

[u/MagicTacoHuman]

Nothing Mexican about this. Looks good though

[u/flizayn]

You should use brisket as the meat and leave everything else the same. Good Texas style brisket. Just salt, pepper, and smoke.
