Who doesn’t like a good eggs benedict? I have had the traditional kind….borinnnnngggg. I’ve had crab cake eggs benedict, salmon eggs benedict, chorizo eggs benedict…YUM. But my favorite of all, is one that I had awhile back at a local eatery. Carne asada eggs benedict. Ohhhhhhhhh, my, my, my. I fell in love right then and there. Of course the mimosa I had with it, made it the perfect brunch. So you have your standard English muffin, slices of steak or left over carne asada and egg. But it’s the topping…..ohhhhh yessssss, the topping takes this to a whole new level. It’s a jalapeno white sauce. I posted the sauce recipe some time ago. It’s a great sauce to eat with tortilla chips! It’s so addicting. Honestly, you won’ be able to stop eating it. Seriously, if you want to impress your family and friends and surprise them with this wonderful dish, you must make this. Or just do it for yourself because it’s really, really good!
