BACON, GRUYERE CHEESE AND EGG SANDWICHES WITH HOLLANDAISE



Bacon, Gruyere Cheese and Egg Sandwiches With Hollandaise image

This is a staff favorite from Food and Wine Magazine. This is special enough to serve to guests. It does take some prep, but it is comletely worth all the steps. I suggest making the Hollandaise sauce first and keeping it warm over the hot water bath, while preparing the sanwiches. Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon cold water
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 dash hot sauce
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 1/4 inches thick slices Canadian bacon, cut into 1/4 inch dice (3 oz)
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olive, sliced
2 pickled jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
1 tomatoes, diced
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup gruyere cheese, shredded (3 1/2 oz)
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 split English muffins, toasted
1 tablespoon snipped chives

Steps:

  • Make Hollandaise Sauce:.
  • In a heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a large saucepan filled with 2 inches of gently simmering water, whisk the egg yolks with the cold water and salt until the mixture is just warm to the touch. Slowly drizzle half of the melted butter into the egg mixture in a thin stream, whisking constantly until the butter is completely incorporated. Continue whisking in the melted butter until the sauce is thick and smoothly emulsified. Whisk in the lemon juice, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and serve warm.
  • This sauce can be kept warm over the hot water bath off of the heat for about 30 minutes. Whisk occasionally and reheat gently over hot water.
  • Sandwiches:.
  • In a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil and then add the onion and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the olives, jalapenos and tomato and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the eggs and scramble, scraping down the side with a rubber spatula until just set, about 2 minutes. Add the Gruyere and stir until just melted. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the toasted English muffins on plates. Spoon the scrambled eggs on the muffins and top with the Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with the chives and serve!

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE SANDWICH



Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich image

For Millie Peartree, a chef and lifelong New Yorker, the bacon, egg and cheese "is everything you need: salty, crunchy, creamy, filling." Because the iconic New York sandwich (which is also known as a "baconeggandcheese" or "B.E.C." when you're in a hurry), is made at thousands of carts and bodegas in all five boroughs, many locals wouldn't think to cook one at home. But if you're desperate for the resuscitation only a B.E.C. can provide, this homestyle adaptation delivers: gooey cheese, crispy bacon and eggs smushed between a buttered roll then wrapped tightly in foil. The only in-person experience you'll miss is waving goodbye to the bodega's owner and cat.

Time 20m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 7

Unsalted butter, as needed
1 kaiser roll, split (or 1 bagel, split, or 2 slices of bread, toasted and buttered)
3 slices beef, pork or turkey bacon (not thick-cut), halved crosswise
2 large eggs, beaten with a fork
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 slices American cheese
Ketchup and/or hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large piece of parchment paper or foil to the stove. Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium. Grease the skillet generously with butter. Place one side of the roll in the skillet, cut-side down, and toast until golden, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the toasted half to the parchment, cut-side up. Repeat with more butter and the other half of the roll. (The second side will take less time, as the pan gets hotter.)
  • If you're using beef or turkey bacon, add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Add the bacon and cook over medium until browned and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes per side. As the bacon cooks, press it down with a spatula. (This helps the fat render, producing crunchier bacon.) Turn off the heat and transfer the bacon to the bottom roll. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.
  • Pour the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper and set over medium-low. Using a spatula, pull the egg toward the center and tilt the skillet so the egg runs to the empty part of the skillet. Repeat this all around until the surface of the egg is no longer runny but still shiny. Add the cheese on the top, tearing into smaller pieces for even coverage. Cook, undisturbed, until the top of the egg is matte, just a minute. Remove from heat, fold the egg in half, and then in half again. Transfer to the bottom roll.
  • Add ketchup and hot sauce as desired, then add the top roll and press down. Wrap in the parchment, smush again, and let sit for a couple minutes for all the elements to steam together. Cut in half and eat.
