HUEVOS BENEDICT

Huevos Benedict image

I found this wonderful cookbook, Real New Mexico Chile. It has such unsual recipes in it and this was one I had to try. It is billed as the New Mexico version of Eggs Benedict. I made this using whole wheat pastry flour and blue cornmeal. However, it will work just as well with your choice of cornmeal and all-purpose flour. The eggs can be fried or use my Microwave Poached Eggs recipe #118761. Serve this with a fruit salad for a nice weekend brunch.

Bake biscuits in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
In a heavy skillet over medium heat saute the choirzo or sausage in oil until brown, drain if needed.
Return drained meat to skillet and sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons flour, cook stirring until flour is brown, about 5 minutes.
