Southwest Huevos Benedict Recipe

southwest eggs benedict

I have two favorite breakfasts: Huevos Rancheros and Eggs Benedict. Anyone who has been out to breakfast with me can tell you that if one of those is on the menu, I will order it for breakfast. And, if BOTH happen to be on the menu, I bribe someone into ordering one and I order the other. Don’t even ask if I eat most of both of them and then moan the rest of the morning in pain. Just asking.

So, I have been scheming for years to meld them into one spectacular dish. I am happy to report success at last: Southwest Huevos Benedict. I melded Sandy’s fabulous SW Eggs Benedict recipe and used my favorite Huevos Rancheros – my worlds collided!

Brunch is a hallowed meal in our family – it is a time that we relax and talk and feel decadent and pampered. We love to eat out for brunch, but when I do cook for brunch, I love to make something extraordinary. This southwest spin on eggs benedict fits the bill.

It has all the creaminess of poached eggs and a creamy sauce, but all the flavor punch and pizzazz of huevos rancheros. Make this for rave reviews for your next liesurely breakfast!

Happy Spring to All!

    I’m a huge Eggs Benedict fan as well, and I bet I would love this one too.
