Eggceptional Eggs Love Cakes Green Salsa Chocolate Bread Pudding In The Garden Brunch

Ingredient:
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 Love Cakes (see below)

Garnishes:
2 tablespoons Green Salsa (see below)
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
2 to 3 very thin slices red onion

In a small nonstick sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter. Gently crack eggs into pan so that the yolks do not break. In a second small sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat canola oil. Lightly brown love cakes on both side.

When the whites of the eggs are almost fully cooked, flip the eggs over and cook to desired consistency. Place Love Cakes on a serving plate and top with eggs. Garnish with Green Salsa, sour cream, feta, and red onion.

Ingredients:
2 (15 ounce) cans cooked black beans
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons minced yellow onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup masa de harina

Garnishes:
1/2 cup Green Salsa (see below)
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup slivered red onions

Rinse and drain black beans in a sieve.

In a small sauté pan heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, cumin, and salt until onions are translucent. Place drained beans and onion mixture in a bowl and mash with a potato masher until well combined. Gradually add masa, allowing mixture to absorb it before adding more. Test dough by rolling it in the palm of your hand. Keep adding masa until dough doesn't stick to your hand and holds the shape of a ball.

Divide dough into 16 small balls and flatten into cakes. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Saute cakes until lightly browned on each side, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Top with Green Salsa, feta cheese, and slivered red onions.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds tomatillos
1/4 cup minced yellow onion
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 serrano peppers, stemmed and seeded
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Peel the husks off the tomatillos. Place them in a
roasting pan with the onion, garlic, and Serrano
peppers. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes. The tomatillos
will break down and become juicy. Remove form oven and cool.

Place the roasted ingredients in a food processor and puree. Season with salt, white pepper, and cilantro. Chill until ready to serve.
