Sunnys Black Bean And Ham Eggs Benedict Recipes

SUNNY'S BLACK BEAN AND HAM EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• For the black bean patties: Mash the beans in a large bowl, leaving some of the bean texture. Stir in the corn, oatmeal, taco seasoning and garlic. Stir to combine, taste and then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Fold in the egg. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes to hydrate the oats.
• In a large nonstick pan, heat the oil on medium heat. When the oil begins to swirl a bit, use an ice cream scoop to portion the black bean mixture equally into 4 balls. Drop them into the pan, then press each into a patty shape with a spatula. Cook on one side until golden and a bit crisp, about 8 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until slightly crisped, 5 to 8 minutes more. Remove to individual serving plates.
• For the cream sauce: In a double boiler with the water boiling but not touching the pot above, add a piece of the butter, the yolks, lime juice, a splash of water and a pinch of salt. Whisk continuously while the butter melts, then add another piece of butter, working it in until it melts. Continue adding the butter pieces one at a time, whisking and melting between additions, until all the pieces are whisked in. Taste and adjust with salt if needed. Keep warm on the double boiler.
• Divide the ham into 4 servings and place a portion on top of each black bean patty. Top each with an egg, drizzle over the sauce and sprinkle with pickles. Sprinkle the plate with cilantro and tomatoes. Serve warm.

SUNNY'S QUICK HAM AND EGG SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: Add the mayonnaise, red onion, mustard, sriracha seasoning, cherry peppers, scallions and a few grinds of black pepper to a large bowl and fold together. Add the eggs and fold gently, then add the ham and fold in. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• For sandwiches: Make sandwiches on white toast with egg salad, lettuce, tomato and onion.

SUNNY'S PULLED PORK EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• For the tomatoes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
• Place the tomato slices on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and red chili flakes. Roast until the tops are slightly charred and shriveled, 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the sauce. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise and adobo sauce.
• For the assembly: Place the muffins on separate plates cut-side up. Top with the tomato slices, pulled pork, poached eggs, a drizzle of sauce and a sprinkle of scallions.

SUNNY'S EGGS IN BURGATORY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the beef and break it up a little. From high above the bowl for even coverage, sprinkle over the onion pulp, 1 teaspoon of the curry powder, the onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and the thyme. Gently mix with your non-dominant hand until just combined. Form into 4 equal balls and let rest in the bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, cover with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature 1 hour.
• In a liquid measuring cup, whisk the tomatoes, ketchup, honey, hot sauce and the remaining 2 teaspoons curry powder until combined.
• Preheat 4 personal-sized cast-iron pans over medium-high heat. Form each ball of beef into a patty and press each patty to fill the entire bottom of each pan; the patties will shrink as they cook. Cook until each patty easily lifts from the pan and a peek beneath reveals a golden-brown sear, about 5 minutes. Flip the patties, then immediately pour the tomato mixture evenly over each and jiggle the pans to settle the sauce.
• Using the back of a spoon, gently press a recess in the center top of each patty. Gently crack an egg into the center of each patty, resting the yolk in the recess you created. Cover all the pans with a large baking sheet. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and leave covered until a quick peek beneath reveals the whites are cooked and the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Garnish each with a tiny sprinkle of salt over the yolks, a grind of pepper and a sprinkle of parsley.

THE BEST EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Fill a large saucepan with 2 quarts water. Add the vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, toast the English muffins until golden brown. Spread with butter and place on one side of a baking sheet. Keep warm in the oven.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until heated through, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer the bacon to the other side of the baking sheet to keep warm.
• Melt the remaining butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the yolks, lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the cayenne to a blender. Blend for 1 minute. With the blender running, pour the melted butter very slowly through the open hole of the blender lid until smooth, thick and emulsified. Transfer the sauce back to the saucepan and place in the oven to keep warm.
• Crack the whole eggs into small cups or glasses. If your simmering water has reduced too much, add a bit more water and bring back to a steady simmer. When the water is at a steady simmer, slip the eggs into the water in one quick motion, arranging them clockwise in the pan so you know which will be ready first.. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
• Top each muffin half with a slice of Canadian bacon and a poached egg. Pour hollandaise sauce over each muffin. (If the sauce has thickened too much, whisk it with a tablespoon of water.) Sprinkle each serving with a little cayenne and serve immediately.

SUNNY'S SALSA EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs with 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl until frothy. Add the butter to a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat. (If it immediately sizzles, the pan is too hot. It should be a slow melt.) Tilt the pan to swirl the butter and coat the bottom and sides of the pan.
• Add the whisked eggs to the pan and allow to rest until a light layer of cooked egg develops on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a whisk to stir and scramble the eggs, then let rest again. Repeat this until the eggs are about three-quarters of the way done, then add the salsa. Raise the heat slightly and cook, whisking the salsa into the eggs. Cook to desired texture. Top with cheese and cilantro.
