CRAB-AND-AVOCADO EGGS BENEDICT
Cold eggs hold their shape better than room-temperature eggs when poaching. If using farm-fresh eggs that have not been refrigerated, chill them for about 1 hour before poaching, if desired.

Steps:
- Whisk together lemon juice, Dijon, egg yolks, and 3 tablespoons water in a heatproof bowl. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high. When it boils, reduce heat to medium; simmer until foamy. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan, until foam subsides, butter turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, and milk solids separate into brown specks that sink to bottom, 2 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Very slowly drizzle into lemon mixture, whisking constantly, then season with salt and pepper. Return to saucepan; set aside.
- Bring 1 inch water and vinegar to a simmer in a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Meanwhile, mash avocado in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Toast muffins and spread avocado onto split sides; top with crab. Gently crack eggs into simmering water. Simmer until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon; let drain 30 seconds, then place atop crab. Warm Hollandaise over low, whisking constantly (do not let boil), until thickened slightly and heated through, 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in tarragon, and spoon evenly over eggs. Serve immediately.

SOUTHWESTERN EGGS BENEDICT WITH AVOCADO SAUCE
I frequently make this spicy spinoff of classic eggs Benedict for my husband, who loves breakfast. I like the heat from the jalapenos and also that the avocado sauce is a healthier substitute for the usual hollandaise sauce. -Kara Scow, McKinney, Texas

Steps:
- Place hollandaise ingredients (avocado, lime juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, water) in your blender and turn on until smooth. Scrape the sides as needed. Add salt to taste. The sauce should be thick and creamy, but if needed add a bit more lime juice, oil, and/or water to get it moving more. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat your grill to 375 degrees F. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1/3-inch-thick slabs. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil and rub over both sides. Generously top with salt and pepper. Place on the grill for about 12-15 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until fork tender, about 15 minutes. If your potatoes finish before you're done cooking the vegetables, turn the heat off on the grill with the lid shut and leave them there to stay warm until you're ready.
- My egg poaching method: While the potatoes grill, place about 4 inches of water in a large pot. Heat over high with the lid on until the water simmers. Uncover and reduce heat so the water is just barely simmering a few small bubbles. Maintain this heat throughout the poaching process. Place 2 paper towels on a large plate. Crack 1 egg in a small bowl. Gently swirl your water with a spatula in one direction and slowly pour the egg into the center of the pot. Gently swirl the water a few times around the egg then let it be for 4 minutes. Carefully remove with a slotted spoon and drain on the paper towels; repeat for each egg, using the same water.
- Heat a pan over medium with a drizzle of oil. Place the onion in the pan with a good pinch of salt and let it cook, stirring every minute or so, for about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, and chili powder and cook for another minute. Return the pot of water to just below a simmer. Add the bell pepper to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring once in a while, until just starting to soften. Add the corn and black beans and cook until hot. Stir in the adobo sauce and turn to low.
- Place all eggs gently back in the warm water and let them reheat for no longer than 1 minute. Place potato slabs on 2 plates with the veggie mixture over top. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon or place on the paper towel to drain the water and then place them on top of the veggie mixture (2 for each serving). Top with the avocado hollandaise, salt, pepper, and hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Set a medium pot of water over high heat.
- While the water heats, make the avocado hollandaise sauce. Set aside.
- Toast the bread. Set on individual plates. Half the avocado, remove the pit and peel, and cut each half into thin slices. Lay on the toast, and mash with a fork.
- Top with tomato slices. Sprinkle with a little pinch of salt and pepper.
- Poach the egg. By now, your water should be boiling. Reduce the heat to low, until your water is barely moving, with only a few small bubbles rising to the surface. Crack eggs into the water, hovering right over the surface so that the eggs don't have very far to drop. Cook for 3 minutes for a very runny yolk or 3 1/2 minutes for thicker (yet still runny) yolk.
- Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon and place atop tomato.
- Spoon avocado hollandaise over the top. Sprinkle with parsley and/or chives if using along with a pinch of salt, and a generous pinch of pepper.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocado, the creamier and more flavorful it will be.
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread, such as an English muffin or ciabatta, will hold up well to the poached eggs and avocado.
- Make sure the eggs are fresh: Fresh eggs will poach more evenly and have a better flavor.
- Use a large skillet: This will give the eggs plenty of room to poach without overcrowding.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you're poaching multiple eggs, make sure to give them enough space so that they don't stick together.
- Poach the eggs gently: Don't boil the water, or the eggs will overcook and become tough.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance their flavor.
Conclusion:
Avocado eggs benedict is a delicious and satisfying breakfast or brunch dish. It's easy to make, and it's sure to impress your guests. With its creamy avocado, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give avocado eggs benedict a try.
