Directions

To prepare aioli:Combine egg yolk, chipotles, lemon juice and chopped garlic in a food processor. Puree until smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in 1/4 cup oil. Season with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.

To prepare tomatillo salsa:Preheat broiler to high. Place tomatillos, onion, jalapeño and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning the vegetables occasionally, until blistered and soft, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Transfer to a food processor along with cilantro and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Pulse to a slightly chunky consistency.

To prepare waffles:Place a baking sheet in the oven; preheat to 200°F. Whisk cornmeal, masa harina, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Whisk milk, butter, maple syrup and 1 egg in a medium bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack in the remaining 4 eggs and cook to desired doneness, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes for a runny yolk and 3 1/2 to 4 minutes for a firmer yolk.

Top the waffles with the eggs, aioli, salsa and beans. Serve with avocado, lime wedges and cilantro, if desired.

To make ahead

Refrigerate aioli (Step 1) and tomatillo salsa (Step 2) for up to 4 days.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
