Mexican Street Corn (Elote) Fries with Poached Eggs and Roasted Poblano Hollandaise
I love elote fries and thought to myself how they could be transformed for a fun and unexpected dish? This dish is a zippy take on the expected traditional hollandaise, poached eggs and home fries that can stand on its own as a main course entrée (this is amazing and can't wait to serve it). Eggland's Best eggs are a part of my "every day" routine; I have an egg every morning to start the day with a good dose of protein that keeps hunger at bay as I venture into my day.
Make This Recipe
Ingredients
Fries:
28 – 32 oz. bag frozen hand-cut French fries
1 tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. salt
Corn:
6 large ears of corn, husked
Vegetable oil for brushing
3 Tbsp. canola oil
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice, plus more
1 tsp. lime zest
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. chili powder
¼ tsp. garlic powder
Roasted Poblano Hollandaise:
2 sticks (16 Tbsp.) unsalted butter, melted until foamy and kept warm
3 large Eggland’s Best egg yolks
1 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 poblano pepper, roasted, skinned, seeds removed and minced
Poached Eggs:
3 cups water
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
¼ tsp. salt
8 Eggland’s Best eggs, large
12 oz. fresh chorizo, crumbled
8 oz. cotija cheese, crumbled
¼ cup chopped cilantro, divided
Lime wedges for serving
Preparation
Fries:
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, garlic powder and salt. Toss with the fries.
- Prepare fries according to the package directions.
Corn:
- Heat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- Whisk together canola oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl.
- Coat the corn with the canola oil mixture and grill rotating until lightly charred on evenly on all sides.
- Allow to cool and cut the kernels off of the corn and reserve in a bowl. Toss with a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice and half of the cilantro.
Roasted Poblano Hollandaise:
- Place the Eggland's Best egg yolks, water, lemon juice, salt, pepper in a blender and mix until smooth. Very slowly, add the warm (not hot) melted butter, drop by drop, to the mixture, blending until emulsified.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in the minced poblano peppers. Serve immediately or place bowl over a pot of simmering water to keep warm, stirring occasionally.
Chorizo:
- Sautee the chorizo in a medium skillet for a few minutes until cooked through and browned. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Poached Eggs:
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, add the water and vinegar and bring to a boil, then add the vinegar and salt. Turn the heat off.
- Break each Eggland's Best egg into a cup and gently add to the pot. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and let sit for 6 minutes for a soft runny yolk.
- Remove EB eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon to drain the liquid. Eggs can be kept warm in a pot of warm water until ready to serve.
To Assemble:
- Divide the fries across 4 large bowls or plates, drizzle with roasted poblano hollandaise, top evenly with corn mixture, chorizo, cotija cheese and rest two poached Eggland’s Best eggs on top.
- Drizzle generously with remaining poblano hollandaise, sprinkle with remaining cilantro, and serve with a few wedges of lime.
