BREAKFAST MENU - EGG BENEDICT

Have you tasted egg benedict before??? or heard about it??? Well it's a popular breakfast or brunch menu for the western. Eggs Benedict is a dish that consists of two halves of an English muffin, topped with ham or bacon, poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce.

For a heavier meal, eggs Benedict are often served with roast potatoes or homemade fries. and salad.

  

To prepare eggs Benedict, you may find yourself having to contend with several things at once, as most of the ingredients only take a few minutes to prepare. It will take quite a bit of skill and expertise, but with a little practice or an extra pair of hands, you will soon be making eggs Benedict like a true professional.

To start with, it is best to prepare the Hollandaise sauce, as this can easily be heated up and stirred quickly when needed.

Next, the eggs can be poached for a few minutes in simmering water. While the eggs are cooking, the bacon can be grilled or fried for a few minutes and whilst all this is happening, you should have time to pop the muffins into the toaster or under the grill to toast them.

Here's how to make a perfect egg benedict - learn the technique of poaching your eggs first, it's important that you get a nice poached eggs. 

Bring a deep saucepan of water to the boil (at least 2 litres) and add the vinegar. Break the eggs into 4 separate coffee cups or ramekins. Split the muffins, toast them and warm some plates.

Swirl the vinegared water briskly to form a vortex and slide in an egg. It will curl round and set to a neat round shape. Cook for 2-3 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon.

Repeat with the other eggs, one at a time, re-swirling the water as you slide in the eggs. 

Spread some sauce on each muffin, scrunch a slice of ham on top, then top with an egg. 

Spoon over the remaining hollandaise and serve at once.

For the Hollandaise Sauce

4 egg yolks

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)

Pinch cayenne

Pinch salt

Directions

Vigorously whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together in a stainless steel bowl and until the mixture is thickened and doubled in volume. Place the bowl over a saucepan containing barely simmering water (or use a double boiler,) the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl. Continue to whisk rapidly. Be careful not to let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and doubled in volume. Remove from heat, whisk in cayenne and salt. Cover and place in a warm spot until ready to use for the eggs benedict. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water before serving.

Simple and yummy...look at the Hollandaise sauce...it was fantastic.
