CORNBREAD WAFFLES WITH RANCH-STYLE EGGS AND CILANTRO CREMA

Steps:

• Make the waffle batter: Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and honey in a small bowl. Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, cumin, fine sea salt and cayenne in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and gently whisk together until just combined (do not over mix). Fold in the butter, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for 30 minutes.
• While the waffle batter rests, make the red chile sauce: Put the garlic on a cutting board, sprinkle with kosher salt, and use the flat side of your knife blade to smear the garlic and salt to a coarse paste. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, the ancho and pasilla chile powders and some salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly reduced, about 15 minutes. Use a potato masher to mash the tomatos and cook slightly thickened, about 10 minutes longer. Mash again to make a chunky sauce. Stir in the chipotle puree, honey, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste, cook another 1 to 2 minutes then remove from the heat.
• Make the crema: Combine the cilantro, garlic, cotija and pine nuts in a small food processor and puree the mixture until it is smooth. Whisk together the crema and goat cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Stir in the cilantro mixture and lime zest and set aside. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the waffles: Heat the waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray with nonstick pan spray, then ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter into each grid, close, and cook until golden brown on both sides and steam stops coming out from the iron, about 4 minutes. Transfer the waffles to a baking sheet.
• Make the eggs: Preheat the broiler to high. Crack 4 eggs into each of 2 small bowls. Heat 2 medium nonstick skillets over medium-high heat (or use 1 skillet and cook the eggs in 2 batches). Add 2 tablespoons butter to each skillet; once the bubbles mostly subside, slip 4 eggs into each skillet and season the tops with salt and pepper. When the whites start to set, after 1 to 2 minutes, cover the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes longer.
• While the eggs cook, assemble the waffles: Combine the Cheddar and Moneterey Jack cheeses in a medium bowl, then top each waffle with about 1/2 cup of cheese and broil until the cheese is bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Top each waffle with a fried egg, a generous amount of chile sauce and a dollop of crema. Garnish with scallions and cilantro leaves and serve immediately.

SERRANO CHILI AND CILANTRO CORNBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• BROILER-BLACKENED CHILIES:.
• Put the chilies on a baking pan on the top rack under the broiler until they blister and turn black. Turn them over and repeat. Remove them from the broiler and drop them into a brown bag to cool. The skin will become loose and flaky as they cool.
• OPEN-FLAME-BLACKENED CHILIES:.
• Alternatively, roast the chilies over a flame or over a barbecue grill. Hold the chilies 4" away from the flame and rotate until all sides of the pepper turn black (I would use a grilling basket or a soaked bamboo skewer in case you wanted to use your hands again someday.).
• MIX:.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. If using cast iron pans (for the best crust), grease them and put them in the oven during preheating.
• In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, oil or butter, maple syrup or sugar, and the cilantro.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed.
• Take the chilies out of the bag and slice them in half, directly down the middle. Open them up. Remove and discard the seeds. Peel off and discard the blistered skin. Cut the chilies into small pieces and stir them into the batter until they are completely mixed inches.
• Smear a little butter or oil on the bottoms and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan or 12 muffin molds and pour the batter inches
• Bake 20 minutes if using a muffin pan, or 25 minutes if you're using a baking pan.
• Remove from the oven and let cool.
• HONEY BUTTER:.
• Blend the softened butter and honey in a bowl with a fork, whipping lightly to create a creamy spread. Scoop the spread into a ramekin and serve with the cornbread.
• PRESENTATION OF SQUARE PAN CORNBREAD:.
• Make 1 slice directly down the middle of the baking pan and 4 slices across to make 10 rectangular pieces.

• ** In light of recent research, Dr. Weil no longer recommends reduced-fat dairy products unless you happen to prefer the taste.
• Tips from Rosie's Kitchen:
• The indigenous people of the Southwest used to roast their chile peppers over an open fire. If you're feeling really motivated and have the time to do it, you, too, can roast the chilies over a flame or over a barbecue grill, instead of broiling them. Hold the chilies 4 inches away from the flame and rotate until all sides of the pepper turn black. If you'd like to use an alternative to chile peppers, just sauté 1/2 cup onions in a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and use them in place. When handling serrano chilies, do not touch your eyes, because these chilies will sting.
