And I have SO many more Easy Air Fryer Recipes to try!
Poaching eggs seems awfully “chef-y” to me, so I am making mine in the air fryer.
Feel fee to poach your eggs if you’d like, but still follow this delicious brunch or breakfast recipe (or my fave, breakfast-for-dinner).
How to Make Air Fryer Chorizo Eggs Benedict
First cook a pound of chorizo sausage in a skillet over medium heat.
Break the sausage apart as it cooks for 5 to 6 minutes.
Next let’s make the green chile hollandaise sauce.
Start by separating 4 egg yolks, and place the yolks in a food processor.
Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, kosher salt, pepper, and chili powder.
Blend this for just under a minute.
You’ll see it transform to a lighter yellow color as it blends.
Then blend as you very slowly drizzle in a stick of hot, melted butter for about a minute or so.
The hot butter is what will cook the egg yolks.
Finally stir in 2 ounces of canned green chiles.
Now comes the magical part of air fried “poached” eggs!
Get 4 bowls or ramekins that are heat safe for the air fryer.
And spray each with a good amount of non stick spray.
Add a tablespoon of water to each bowl and crack an egg in each.
Place the bowls in the air fryer basket.
Set the air fryer to 370 degrees for 6 to 9 minutes, depending on how you want the yolks cooked.
Once the eggs are cooked how you like, carefully remove them as they will be very hot.
I did two batches of these for 8 eggs total.
As the eggs cool, place some English muffins in the air fryer for a minute to toast them.
Now we get to assemble this stunning dish!
Start with an English muffin topped with the cooked chorizo sausage.
Add some slices of avocado too if you prefer!
Then top with the air fried “poached” eggs.
