CLASSIC EGGS BENEDICT
Steps:
- For the hollandaise: 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 top tightly with foil and place in a warm spot until ready to use. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water before serving.
- For the poached eggs: Fill a medium high-sided pot with 3 inches of water. Add vinegar, season with salt and bring to a simmer. (Look for just a few bubbles; it should never boil.) Gently crack an egg into a ramekin and then slowly slide it into the center of the pot, letting the water swirl around it and allowing the white to envelop the yolk. Repeat with 3 more eggs.
- Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes. Once the eggs are perfectly poached, remove from the water using a slotted spoon and let drain on a plate lined with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel and season the top with salt and pepper. Set eggs aside.
- For assembly: Preheat the broiler. Put the muffins in a single layer, cut-side up on a baking sheet, place under the broiler and broil until golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes depending on how powerful your broiler is. Turn the muffins over, and broil for 1 minute longer.
- Turn the muffins back over so that the cut-side is facing up again. Remove and butter the top of each. Top each muffin with a slice of the bacon, return under the broiler and broil until the bacon is lightly golden brown and just warmed through, 1 to 3 minutes, depending on how powerful the broiler is.
- Top each muffin half with an egg, pour about 1/4 cup of the sauce over each, sprinkle with a bit of sea salt and pepper and garnish with chives and herbs.
POTATO TOT EGGS BENNY
Steps:
- For the tots: Preheat your oven according to the frozen potato tots' package directions. Place the frozen potato tots on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with the spice mix. Bake the frozen potato tots according to the package directions.
- For the poached eggs: Line a plate with paper towel. Place a skillet with 2 inches of water over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, crack one egg into a fine mesh sieve and gently jiggle it around a little to remove any runny egg white. Transfer the egg gently into a heatproof bowl and continue with the remaining eggs.
- Add the vinegar to the simmering water and gently tip each egg into the water. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the white is set and the yolk is done to your liking. Use a slotted spoon to scoop the eggs out of the water. Place them gently onto the paper-towel-lined plate and set aside.
- For the hollandaise: Add the egg yolks to a blender along with the lemon juice, salt and cayenne, if using. Blend just to combine. Melt the butter in a saucepan or in a microwave until it is fully melted and starting to bubble and spit. Remove the vent cap from the blender and with the blender running, very slowly stream in the hot butter. Taste and season with a little more salt and/or lemon, if needed.
- To serve, divide the potatoes among four plates and top with smoked salmon, poached eggs, hollandaise and chives. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
- Combine the paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne in a small bowl. Save any extra spice mix for spicing up chicken, pork, beans and anything else you can think of!
