Between napping… and being entertained by the feral cats that live under Joe’s deck… we managed to get out to a few restaurants. One of the restaurants served the most delicious egg breakfast that I’ve ever tasted – it was a Southwestern Eggs Benedict with a spicy hollandaise. Let me just preface by saying that I don’t typically like eggs in general. I have never really been a big fan of the taste/smell/texture. However, I was thrilled to find that when masked smothered with a spicy, southwestern sauce, I could really love eggs! Although this corn cake breakfast stack has no spicy hollandaise sauce, it has everything (else) that I love about a spicy egg breakfast. The southwestern flavored corn cake on the bottom has the perfect flavor and density to hold up the stack of ham, bacon, provolone cheese, and spicy fried egg. And oh my gosh, who needs hollandaise when you leave the yolks soft? Even for a non-egg lover like myself, the sunny-side-up style fried egg made me swoon. And what really makes it all come together is topping it off with a generous sprinkle of spicy cayenne and black pepper. Maybe eggs aren’t so bad after all…? Good news – we are going back to visit Joe this summer on this year’s Summer Roadtrip! And he doesn’t know it yet, but we will most definitely be going back to the cafe with the Southwestern Eggs Benedict. 4.8 from 13 reviews What fun things are you doing this summer?
