Ingredients

Avocado Relish:

Chipotle Dressing:

Andouille Hollandaise:

Directions

  1. In a deep saucepan (at least 6 to 8 inches deep), bring water, vinegar and salt to a gentle simmer. Crack 1 egg and drop it into the water right above where the bubbles are coming up. Then, using a chopstick, try to swirl the water around the egg to help shape it. Drop another egg in, always onto the bubbles. Try not to do more than 4 eggs at the same time. Poach for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cooked to desired doneness of poached eggs. Remove carefully with a slotted spoon to a clean towel to soak up the excess water. 
  2. To serve, top each poached egg with a ring of Avocado Relish and pour Andouille Hollandaise around egg. 

Avocado Relish:

  1. Place all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and carefully fold together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Toss with some of the Chipotle Dressing, and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside for serving with the poached eggs.

Chipotle Dressing:

Yield: About 1 1/2 cups
  1. Place the first 7 ingredients in a blender and blend on high for 1 minute. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in oil, and blend until emulsified. Reserve until needed.

Andouille Hollandaise:

Yield: 8 servings
  1. In a medium saute pan over medium heat, add 2 ounces butter. Add shallots and cook for 2 minutes. Add seasonings and cook for 2 more minutes. Add sausage and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown; drain any fat and set aside. 
  2. In a small saucepan, combine peppercorns, bay leaf, wine, vermouth, and vinegar and reduce over high heat until 1/4 cup remains. Strain mixture through a fine strainer into a medium-sized stainless steel bowl. Add egg yolks to bowl and place over a warm water bath; beat mixture until thick and mixture holds a ribbon for 7 seconds. Turn heat off and slowly whisk in the remaining butter. Add sausage mixture, and season, to taste, with the lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper.
