EGGS A LA SUISSE

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan, cook green pepper and onion in butter till tender. Stir in flour, mustard, salt, oregano, thyme, and pepper; add milk all at once. Cook and stir till mixture is thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Cover and keep warm.
• 2. In a lightly greased 10-inch skillet heat 1-1/2 inches water to boiling; reduce heat so water simmers. Break ONE egg into a small sauce dish. Carefully slide egg into simmering water, holding lip of dish as close to the water as possible. Repeat with remaining 5 eggs, keeping them separate in the skillet. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes or to desired doneness (do not let water boil).
• 3. Meanwhile, divide slices of Swiss cheese among toasted English muffin halves. Place on rack of an unheated broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat till cheese melts. When eggs are done, lift out of skillet with a slotted spoon, place each egg on a muffin half. Spoon some sauce over each. Sprinkle lightly with paprika and serve.

TEXAS EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• For the black bean relish: Combine the onions, cilantro, olive oil, tomatoes, beans, chiles and lime juice in a bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Let the relish sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• For the hollandaise: Place the lime juice and yolks in a medium stainless-steel bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Whisk the yolks until pale yellow and fluffy. Slowly add the melted butter, a few tablespoons at a time, and whisk until thickened. Remove from the heat, whisk in the steak sauce and season with the salt and black pepper. Keep warm.
• For the Texas toast: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Combine the garlic, butter and some salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Butter both sides of the bread with some of the garlic butter, and grill until nicely charred on both sides.
• For the steak: Put each slice of steak in between pieces of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them into thin steaks. Sprinkle both sides with some of the steak rub and some salt and black pepper. Heat the oil in a cast-iron pan over high heat. Add the steaks and cook until a crust forms, about 1 minute. Flip and cook for another minute until the other side forms a crust as well.
• For the poached eggs: Bring 3 cups water and the vinegar to a gentle simmer in a large high-sided frying pan. Break each egg into a cup and gently add to the water. Poach until the yolks are nearly set, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon to drain the liquid. Season the top with salt and black pepper.
• For assembly: Spoon some of the black bean relish on top of each piece of the Texas toast. Top each with 2 pieces of steak, a poached egg, then some of the hollandaise. Garnish with whole cilantro leaves.
