For the chipotle hollandaise sauce
- 4 egg yolks

Instructions
To make the chipotle hollandaise sauce
- In a double boiler over low heat, whisk together 4 egg yolks until they start to thicken.
- Gradually drizzle in 1 stick of melted butter, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Stir in a pinch of salt, 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice, and a 1/4 teaspoon of chipotle powder. Whisk until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper as needed.
Poach the eggs
- Fill a deep skillet or pot with 2-3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to the simmering water.
- Gently crack an egg into a small bowl, then carefully slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Allow the eggs to poach for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring the whites are set, but the yolks remain runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and drain on paper towels.
To assemble your Pulled Pork Eggs Benedicts
- Toast the split English muffins. Place them in a toaster or under a broiler until they are golden-brown.
- Layer each toasted muffin half with a generous helping of warmed pulled pork.
- Add a poached egg on top and drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons of the chipotle hollandaise sauce.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Fresh eggs are best for poaching as they hold their shape better.
- If your hollandaise sauce becomes too thick, a splash of warm water can help thin it out.
- For an added kick, sprinkle some extra chipotle powder on top before serving.
- Gently reheat the pulled pork to retain its moisture and flavor.
