Royal breakfast: Eggs Benedict
Although made from simple ingredients, they have a special touch of elegance due to the way they are served
- 2 buns of your choice – the best are small brioche buns
- 4 slices of cooked ham
- 4 eggs
- Home Chef Hollandaise sauce
- Fresh chives
- Green salad
- A few cherry tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cut the buns in half and put them on a grill pan to get toasted a bit from both sides.
- Meanwhile, fill a middle-sized pot with water and let it boil.
- Toast the ham slightly in a pan with a little bit of butter and leave it aside.
- When the buns are grilled and slightly crunchy, divide them into two plates and put a slice of ham on each of them.
- Now poach the eggs - there are two ways how to do it. The classical way includes adding a spoonful of white wine to the boiling water. Make a little whirl in the water with a spoon and gently put the previously cracked egg from a bowl into the swirl. Poach one by one egg. While the egg is poaching, the water should not be boiling.
- Cook every egg for cca 2-3 minutes, take them carefully out with a strainer, and gently place them on the buns with the roasted ham.
- For a more modern way of pouching take a small bowl and cover it with foil (let the ends go over the edges of the bowl, it will be easier to wrap the egg) and cover the foil with olive oil. Put the egg in the bowl and wrap it in the foil. Make a knot on the top. Let the water boil and turn the fire down immediately. Put the wrap with the egg inside in the water and cook for exactly 3 minutes. Let the top of the transparent foil stay above the water. Cut the knot of your wrap with a knife or scissors and place the egg on the bread and roasted ham.
- Pour the previously warmed-up Home Chef Hollandaise Sauce and sprinkle with finely chopped chives.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
Of course you can try to make the Hollandaise sauce by yourself - with egg yolk, melted butter, and a bit of lemon juice - but we warn you that it sounds much easier than it actually is and it requires a certain level of skill.
Therefore is the ready-made Hollandaise sauce, that will delight you with its quality, definitely a much more practical and faster solution, so you can enjoy eggs Benedict whenever you want.
Enjoy!
