🧺 Ingredients (Serves 4):
1 lb ground chorizo sausage
4 English muffins, halved
8 eggs
Nonstick cooking spray
8 tbsp water (for air fryer egg cups)
Optional: avocado slices, cilantro, hot sauce
For Green Chile Hollandaise:
4 egg yolks
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 stick hot melted butter
2 oz diced green chiles
Kosher salt, pepper, chili powder to taste
👨🍳 Instructions:
1. Cook the chorizo
Brown chorizo in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart (5–6 minutes).
Set aside and keep warm.
2. Air fry the eggs
Spray ramekins or silicone cups with nonstick spray.
Add 1 tbsp water and crack an egg into each.
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5–6 minutes until whites are set but yolks are runny.
3. Make green chile hollandaise
Blend egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chili powder in a food processor.
Slowly drizzle in hot melted butter while blending.
Add green chiles and pulse until smooth.
4. Toast muffins
Toast English muffin halves until golden.
5. Assemble
Layer muffin with chorizo, air-fried egg, and spoonful of hollandaise.
Garnish with avocado, cilantro, or hot sauce if desired.
🌟 Tips:
For extra heat, add jalapeños or chipotle to the hollandaise.
Use turkey chorizo for a leaner option.
Serve with roasted potatoes or fruit salad for a full brunch spread.
