Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Hollandaise:
•2 egg yolks
•1 teaspoon dry mustard
•Pinch cayenne pepper
•2 tablespoons water
•1 cup (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, melted
•1/2 lemon, juiced
•Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
•2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
•2 tablespoons unsalted butter
•1 onion, chopped
•2 cups chopped corned beef
•2 cups chopped Herbed Root Vegetables, recipe follows
•2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
•Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
•4 eggs
•2 tablespoons white vinegar

Steps:

  • Make the hollandaise: Put the egg yolks, mustard, cayenne, and water into a blender. Blend this together and then slowly start pouring in the warm butter with the blender running. Stop the machine when all the butter has been incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Thin the hollandaise with a little water if it is too thick. Keep warm while you fry the hash and poach the eggs. Fry the hash: Heat the oil and butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the onion, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the corned beef, vegetables,and chives; cook until the bottom is brown and crisp, about 5 to 10 minutes. Poach the eggs: Serve: Place 1/4 of the hash onto a warm plate or shallow bowl. Top with a poached egg and a couple of tablespoons of hollandaise; garnish with chives. Herbed Root Vegetables: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 pound new potatoes, scrubbed 1 pound baby carrots, trimmed and scrubbed 1 pound baby turnips, trimmed and scrubbed 1 pound baby parsnips, trimmed and scrubbed Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Put the olive oil and butter into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and toss to coat them well with the fat; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest eggs possible: Fresh eggs will poach more evenly and have a better flavor.
  • Bring the water to a simmer before adding the eggs: This will help prevent the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: Poach the eggs in a single layer so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the eggs from the water: This will help prevent the eggs from breaking.
  • Serve the eggs immediately: Poached eggs are best served fresh out of the water.

Conclusion:

Poached eggs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to add protein to your diet. With a little practice, you can easily poach eggs at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give poached eggs a try!
