Steps:
- For the dough: Mix together the water, buttermilk blend powder and sugar in a large bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Add the yeast and stir until blended. Let sit for 10 minutes; you should be able to see the yeast activate and create an expanding foam in the bowl.
- Mix together the bread flour and salt in a separate bowl, then slowly drizzle over the melted butter and blend until the flour is a soft crumbly texture. Stir the almond and vanilla extracts into the beaten egg, pour into the flour mixture and continue mixing. Slowly add the yeasty water until all the liquid is incorporated and the flour has formed into a soft mound. Transfer the dough to a lightly-floured surface and knead 1 to 4 times until smooth. (Don't overwork the dough or it will become tough.) Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray and place the dough in the bowl. Spray the top with a light coating of nonstick spray and cover with plastic wrap or a towel. Let rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- For the stuffing: Toss together the spinach, lemon juice, artichokes and garlic. Saute over medium-low heat until the spinach is slightly wilted, and then stir in the cream, cream cheese and Parmesan until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and gradually add the breadcrumbs until the mixture is slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to stuff the beignets; it will thicken as it chills.
- For the reduction: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the syrup and vinegar and stir until the sauce is bubbling and slightly reduced, to the consistency of syrup, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar. The sauce should be tangy and slightly sweet with a gentle hint of maple. Keep warm.
- For assembling and frying: Preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. Cut the beignet dough ball into 4 equal sections, and roll each section out to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut into rounds about the circumference of a coffee cup. Moisten the edge of each round with water using your fingertips or a misting sprayer, and then place a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of half the rounds. Top with the remaining rounds and gently press down the edges to create a seal.
- Deep-fry, flipping frequently, until golden, and then drain for a few seconds on paper towels. Lightly dust the tops with confectioners' sugar. This dusting effect is best when done using a wire strainer filled with confectioners' sugar, held over the warm beignets, and lightly tapped on the side to release a fine spray of the sugar.
- Dust the center of plates very lightly with confectioners' sugar, then drizzle the balsamic-maple reduction in whatever pattern desired over the bottom. Top with the stuffed beignets.
EGGS SARDOU
Eggs Sardou is a creation of Antoine's, one of New Orleans' grand old-line restaurants, where it traditionally is composed of poached eggs nestled atop artichoke hearts and creamed spinach, and topped with Hollandaise Sauce. It makes a delicious appetizer, and when the portion size is doubled, makes a filling brunch dish.

Steps:
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the artichoke hearts and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
- Into a large saute pan or deep skillet, pour about 2 inches of cold water and the vinegar. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat so that the surface of the water barely shimmers.
- Break the eggs into individual saucers, then gently slide them 1 at a time into the water and with a large spoon, lift the whites over the yolks. Repeat the lifting once or twice to completely enclose each yolk. Poach until the whites are set and the yolks feel soft when gently touched, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon, and place on a large plate.
- Arrange the warm artichoke hearts on each of 4 plates and top with the spinach. Lay 1 egg on top of each bed of spinach and drizzle with warm Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with the chopped prosciutto, Essence, and chives and serve immediately.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach and garlic and saute, stirring, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning, to taste. Serve hot.
- In the top of a double boiler or in a large bowl set over a pot of simmering water, whisk the egg yolks with the water until the egg yolks are thick and pale yellow, removing from the heat as needed to prevent the eggs from overcooking. Gradually add the butter, whisking constantly to thicken. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk well to blend. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.

- If you don't have artichoke hearts, you can substitute canned or frozen peas.
- To make the hollandaise sauce, use unsalted butter and make sure it is melted and hot before adding it to the egg yolks.
