Microwave Cornbread Eggs Benedict
Recipe courtesy George Duran

Ingredients
2 large eggs
4 strips bacon
1 package microwave cornbread
4 slices American cheese
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
1 teaspoon mustard
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
Fill a 1-quart microwave safe bowl 1/2 full with water. Crack the eggs
into it and poke a hole in the yolks with a skewer or toothpick. Microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2
minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft. Remove from the oven and set

aside.

Put 2 layers of paper towels onto a microwave safe plate and place the bacon strips on top.
Microwave on high power for about 3 minutes, or until crisp. Set aside.

Mix the microwave cornbread according to package directions. Cook 2 English muffin size portions
using a microwave safe cup according to package directions. Remove from the cup and put onto
plates.

Tear the cheese into pieces and put them into a small microwave safe bowl. Add the milk, hot sauce,
and mustard and season with salt and pepper. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stirring half way
through, or until the cheese is melted and smooth.

To assemble, top each cornbread muffin with 2 slices of bacon. Put a poached egg on top of each and
cover each with half the cheese sauce. Garnish with chives and serve.
