I've become a huge fan of the Closet Cooking blog and I'm always impressed with how the recipes turn out. After seeing this blog entry I had to try it myself and thought it would be great as a brunch entree. Instead, we cooked this as a dinner entree (who doesn't like breakfast for dinner?) and I'm so glad we didn't wait for the weekend.
Poached egg on Toast with Chipotle Mayo, Bacon, and Avacado
(Originally posted as a Closet Cooking blog recipe)
Serves 2
4 eggs
4 slices of bread, toasted
Chipotle lime mayo (see below)
2 avocados, sliced
8 slices of turkey bacon, cooked
Poach your eggs in a large pot of boiling water. We poached ours by adding some vinegar to the water, cracking the egg in, and using a spoon to try to contain the yolk and white together while the white cooks. After 2-3 minutes the white should be cooked and carefully remove the egg without cracking it.
Assemble your sandwich and be satisfied!
Chipotle lime mayo
1/2 cup mayo (we use the low-fat TJs variety)
1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, chopped
2 tsp adobo sauce
Juice from half a lime
Mix everything together.
The chipotle mayo is really awesome and a great idea. It would go well on a variety of sandwiches and burgers as well. The taste from the runny poached egg, avacado, bacon, and mayo is so good. I can't wait to make this dish again and especially during one of our regular brunches.
