Black Bean Cakes With Fried Eggs And Avocado Crema

Black Bean Cakes With Fried Eggs And Avocado Crema


1. Mash avocado with lime juice. Add sour cream and cilantro. Chill.

2. Heat the oven to 300°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Place cornmeal in a shallow dish and set aside.

3. Place beans, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, cilantro, onion, hot sauce, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment. Pulse until incorporated and beans are broken down but some whole beans remain, about 15 pulses. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula during processing.

4. Form 6 (3-inch) patties and dust each patty on both sides with cornmeal.

5. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Place patties in the pan and fry until golden, about 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and repeat on the second side.

6. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.

7. NOTE: The black bean cakes can be made up to 1 day in advance, cooled, covered, and refrigerated. To reheat, place on a baking sheet and warm in a 375°F oven for 15 minutes.

8. Fry or poach eggs.

9. Place bean cakes on serving plate. Top each with a fried or poached egg, 1/4 cup cheese and 2 tablespoons of the crema.
