What’s In These Southwest Eggs Benedict Recipe?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Corn Bread – you can use corn bread or even waffles, which make a fun treat. I made these amazing cornbread waffles, the recipe is here on my blog and also a short version below in the recipe card!
- Eggs
- Chili Powder: for a really nice flavor in this dip – the chili powder isn’t spicy but will give you a rich and bright flavor.
- Tomatoes
- Easy Hollandaise Sauce – I have 2 amazing plant-based hollandaise sauce recipes on the blog. My tofu hollandaise sauce is a 5-minute blender sauce that is ready in a pinch… and my chickpea hollandaise sauce takes a bit longer at 10 minutes, but has a fantastic flavor. Take your pick!
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Green Onions
- Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to this dish.
How Do I Make This Vegan Cornbread Waffle Eggs Benedict Recipe?
- Make the base. If using cornbread – make and slice the corn bread, and toast for 3 minutes on each side. If making cornbread waffles – Mix all waffle batter ingredients together in a large batter bowl. When your Belgian Waffle maker is ready, scoop the approved amount of batter into the maker, and close the lid carefully. Your waffle maker instructions should say exactly how much batter to use.
- Heat your Hollandaise sauce.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, and crack each egg in the pot. Do not stir. Allow the eggs to poach for 5 minutes.
- To assemble the benedict, start by adding the cornbread to a plate. Top with a thick slice of tomato, a poached egg, and top with about 1 tablespoon of hollandaise sauce.
- Top benedicts with green onions and a sprinkle of smoked paprika before serving.
What Is The Best Belgian Waffle Maker to Buy?
We absolutely love my Belgian waffle maker which made perfectly crisp and fluffy waffles every time.
We had a normal waffle maker for years, but recently upgraded which makes deeper, thicker Belgian waffles. I wish we had gotten it sooner. This waffle maker is simple to use, easy to clean, and makes perfect Belgian waffles in minutes. Great for sweet or savory waffles that everyone will love!
