How to Make Huevos Benedict

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 cup blue cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 cup plain yogurt until just combined and a soft dough forms.
  5. Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  6. Pat dough to 1-inch thickness and use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
  7. Bake biscuits for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. While biscuits bake, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound chorizo sausage, and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
  9. Return chorizo to the skillet. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  10. Whisk in 2 cups milk and 1/4 cup milk powder. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency, about 5 minutes.
  11. Stir in 4 ounces canned green chiles (diced). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Split biscuits and top with your choice of cooked eggs (fried or poached – recipe #118761 for microwave poached eggs).
  13. Spoon the chorizo gravy evenly over the eggs and biscuits.
  14. Serve immediately with a side of fresh fruit salad.
