Directions: |
Directions:• To make hollandaise: Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that water does not
touch the top pan. Bring water to a gentle simmer.
• In the top of the double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce,
and 1 tablespoon water.
• Add the melted butter to egg yolk mixture 1 or 2 Tbs at a time while whisking yolks constantly. If
hollandaise begins to get too thick, add a tsp or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all butter is
incorporated.
• Whisk in salt, then remove from heat. Place a lid on pan to keep sauce warm.
• Preheat oven on broiler setting.
• To poach eggs: fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water. Bring water to a gentle simmer, then add
vinegar.
• Carefully break eggs into simmering water, and allow to cook for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Yolks should still be
soft in center. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon and set on a warm plate
• While eggs are poaching, brown the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and toast the
English muffins on a baking sheet under the broiler.
• Spread toasted muffins with softened butter, and top each one with a slice of bacon, followed by one
poached egg.
• Place 2 muffins on each plate and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve
immediately. |
