Ingredients
  

  • Extra-thick sliced sourdough bread or Texas toast
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 yellow onions sliced
  • 1 avocado slivered
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can cream-style corn
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ red onion diced
  • ½ bunch cilantro chopped
  • 3½ tablespoons chipotle pepper puree
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon coarse-ground black pepper
  • 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Cotija cheese crumbled

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced yellow onions and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft, golden, and caramelized.
  • While the onions cook, add the cream-style corn, black pepper, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of chipotle pepper puree to a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.
  • In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the remaining 1½ tablespoons of chipotle pepper puree. Stir until smooth and evenly blended.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a hot skillet. Add a thick slice of sourdough or Texas toast and sear on both sides until golden brown and lightly crisp. Repeat with additional bread as needed.
  • Generously spread the chipotle cream cheese over the toasted bread.
  • Layer the caramelized onions, drained black beans, and avocado over the cream cheese.
  • Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Cook the eggs sunny-side up, or until the whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness.
  • Place the cooked eggs over the sandwich toppings.
  • Spoon 3–4 tablespoons of the warm chipotle creamed corn diagonally over each Chipotle Breakfast Sandwich.
  • Finish with diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and crumbled Cotija cheese. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

This recipe can easily be customized. For a less spicy version, start with a smaller amount of chipotle puree and adjust according to taste.
