Steps:

  • To prepare the Marchand du Vin Sauce: Heat the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until the onions are slightly softened. Add the ham, mushrooms, and green onions. Saute for about 2 minutes. Stir in the bay laves, black pepper, salt, paprika, thyme, and tomato paste. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for about 4 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Add the Worcestershire sauce, beef stock, wine, and parsley. Mix thoroughly and simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce is reduced, very thick, and a rich brown color, about 1 hour. Keep warm. To prepare the Hollandaise Sauce: Put the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Beat the mixture with a whisk until the eggs begin to thicken. Remove from the hat and slowly whisk in the melted butter, whisking constantly until the sauce reaches a thick consistency. Adjust seasonings. Keep warm over tepid water or in an insulated container. To poach the eggs: Bring the water and vinegar to a boil in a large saute pan. Adjust the heat to keep the water at a simmer. Crack the eggs into the water. Cook until the whites are firm, about 2 minutes. Lift the poached eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon. Place the eggs on a triple thickness of paper towels until ready to use. To assemble and serve: Place a rusk or slice of toast on each warmed plate. Top each with a slice of bacon or ham. Ladle about 1/3 cup Marchand du Vin sauce over the meat. Carefully slip two poached eggs side by side on the sauce, then top with about 1/2 cup Hollandaise Sauce. Garnish with grilled tomato slices.

BRENNAN'S EGGS HUSSARDE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Brennan's Eggs Hussarde Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups plus 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 scallion, finely chopped
1/4 yellow onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped ham
1/4 cup minced mushrooms
1 tbsp. flour
3/4 cup beef stock
1/4 cup dry red wine
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 egg yolks, plus 8 poached eggs, for serving
1 1/2 tsp. red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, plus more for serving
1 medium tomato, cut into 4 slices
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 slices Canadian bacon
8 Holland rusks

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 2 tbsp. butter in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, scallions, and onions; cook until soft, 2-3 minutes. Add ham and mushrooms; cook 4 minutes. Add flour; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add stock, wine, Worcestershire, thyme, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook briefly until slightly thick. Stir in 2 tbsp. parsley, and season with salt and pepper; keep red wine sauce warm. 2. Heat 2 cups butter in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium-low heat. Skim and discard film from surface. Pour clarified butter from pan into a bowl, leaving milky sediment behind. Fill a 4-qt. saucepan with 2" of water; bring to a simmer over medium heat and rest a heatproof bowl over pan. Add egg yolks, vinegar, cayenne, and 1 tsp. water to the bowl; cook, whisking constantly, until a thick sauce has formed, 4-5 minutes. Begin adding clarified butter in a thin stream, whisking, until all butter has been added to make a smooth hollandaise. 3. Heat oven to broil. Place tomato slices on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with cheese, and broil until cheese is melted and browned, 2-3 minutes; set aside. 4. Heat remaining butter in a 12" skillet over medium heat. Add bacon; cook, until warmed. Divide rusks between 4 plates; put 1 slice bacon on each. Spoon 2 tbsp. red wine sauce over bacon, and top with a poached egg. Spoon hollandaise over eggs. Garnish plates with tomatoes, remaining parsley, and more cayenne.

Tips:

  • Using high-quality ingredients is crucial for achieving the best flavor. Fresh eggs, rich butter, and flavorful ham are essential.
  • Ensure the eggs are cooked gently to maintain their creamy texture. Overcooking will result in rubbery eggs.
  • For a richer sauce, use a combination of heavy cream and milk. If you prefer a lighter sauce, use more milk.
  • If you don't have Madeira wine, you can substitute dry white wine or even chicken broth.
  • Serve the eggs immediately after cooking to ensure they are piping hot. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley for an elegant touch.

Conclusion:

Brennan's Eggs Hussarde is a classic brunch or lunch dish that is sure to impress your guests. With its rich, creamy sauce, tender ham, and perfectly cooked eggs, this dish is a true culinary delight. Follow the tips above to ensure your Eggs Hussarde turns out perfectly every time.
