CLASSIC EGGS BENEDICT



Classic Eggs Benedict image

There are conflicting theories about the origin of Eggs Benedict, but most trace the dish to New York City in the late 1800s. Hollandaise sauce is much older: It appears in a French cookbook from 1651 and was later known as Sauce Isigny, named for a town in Normandy. The name was changed to hollandaise after World War I, when butter was scarce in France and had to be imported from Holland.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 sticks unsalted butter
3 large egg yolks
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 pinches of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for spreading
8 slices Canadian bacon
4 English muffins, split
Chopped fresh chives, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the hollandaise sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until no longer foamy (but not browned), 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the clear butter to a liquid measuring cup, leaving the milk solids on the bottom of the pan; discard the solids.
  • Heat 1 inch of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not simmering. Combine the egg yolks, 1 tablespoon water and 2 teaspoons lemon juice in a medium stainless-steel bowl. Set the bowl on the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking constantly, until the egg mixture is pale yellow and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Check periodically to make sure the water isn't boiling or the egg yolks might overcook.
  • Remove the bowl from the saucepan; slowly pour in the melted butter, a drop at a time at first, whisking constantly until thick. Whisk in the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice, the cayenne and ¼ teaspoon salt. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in some warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen. Return the bowl to the saucepan of water with the heat turned off to keep warm; whisk occasionally.
  • Make the Eggs Benedict: Fill a large wide pot with 3 inches of water. Heat over medium-high heat until steaming with small bubbles; reduce the heat as needed to maintain a bare simmer. Stir in the vinegar. Crack 4 eggs into individual small bowls or ramekins. Carefully tip the eggs into the water, spacing them as far apart as possible. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 3½ minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with a kitchen towel. Gently blot the eggs dry and trim off any wispy pieces. Repeat with the remaining 4 eggs.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until lightly browned and warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Meanwhile, toast the English muffins and spread with butter.
  • Top each English muffin half with a slice of Canadian bacon and a poached egg. Thin the hollandaise sauce with more warm water, if necessary, and season with salt. Spoon over the poached eggs and sprinkle with chopped chives.

Time 40m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large russet potato, grated, squeezed to drain excess liquid
1/2 white onion, grated
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
Vegetable oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces fresh chorizo
1 tablespoon butter
3 eggs
BBQ sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Start by making your latkes. In a large bowl, mix together the potatoes, onions and egg. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and some salt and pepper. Combine both wet and dry.
  • In a heavy-bottomed shallow pot, heat enough vegetable oil to fill the pot one-quarter from the bottom. Once the oil is hot, drop in tablespoon amounts of the potato mixture and flatten with a spatula. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and season again if necessary. Keep warm.
  • In an oven-safe nonstick saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and chorizo. Using a wooden spoon, break the chorizo up and cook until fully cooked through. Remove the chorizo to a bowl. Place the pan back over the heat, add the butter and melt. Cracks the eggs in the hot buttered pan and then transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the whites are firm. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To assemble, layer first the latke, then top with some chorizo, followed by 1 fried egg. Then finish with your favorite BBQ sauce. Serve immediately!

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggs
4 canadian bacon
2 english muffins
2 egg yolks
2 t fresh lemon juice
2 t butter
1 t water
½ t fresh thyme
½ t white pepper
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • 1. Fill pan with about 1 ½ " water, crack eggs into PAM sprayed silicone cups (if doing it the "old-fashioned" way, remember a little vinegar in the water will help keep the eggs together). Cover and start to simmer. Put egg yolks in a bowl followed with the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT butter. Whisk and set aside. Brown bacon and keep warm. Once the eggs start to get white on top, melt butter and toast muffins. While whisking, add warm butter to the egg yolk mixture. Then place in microwave for 30 seconds. This depends on how hot your oven is. This should be whisked until creamy. You might have to play with 15 second intervals. On each plate place a muffin-half, bacon, egg and the sauce. A sprig of fresh dill is also nice.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices Canadian bacon
1 teaspoon white vinegar
4 eggs
1 cup butter
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 dash ground cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 English muffins, split and toasted

Steps:

  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, fry the Canadian bacon on each side until evenly browned.
  • Fill a large saucepan with about 3 inches water, and bring to a simmer. Pour in the vinegar. Carefully break the 4 eggs into the water, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until whites are set but yolks are still soft. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter until bubbly in a small pan or in the microwave. Remove from heat before butter browns.
  • In a blender or large food processor, blend the egg yolks, heavy cream, cayenne pepper, and salt until smooth. Add half of the hot butter in a thin steady stream, slow enough so that it blends in at least as fast as you are pouring it in. Blend in the lemon juice using the same method, then the remaining butter.
  • Place open English muffins onto serving plates. Top with 1 slice Canadian bacon and 1 poached egg. Drizzle with the cream sauce, and serve at once.
