I would have never, ever in my life imagined myself eating something that looks like this. My teenage diet of Sunny Delight and granola bars and spaghetti-o’s… well it wasn’t in my wheelhouse for sure.
But…. it seems tastebuds change and trying new things as I get older, gets easier and easier.
This is easily my favorite breakfast. As long as the Hollandaise Sauce is good.
I’ve been trying to perfect a recipe. It’s nearly impossible. But this is the one I have come to love.
My hollandaise sauce is blender made (which makes everything easier.) and an old Pioneer Woman recipe (WAY before she was doing what she is now, and I could actually message her and she would answer!)
For the Hollandaise Sauce (this makes enough for 3 people)
1 stick of margarine (I have tried this with real butter and it NEVER works, sorry butter lovers)
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon lemon juice (maybe a little more, depending on your taste)
Cayenne pepper to taste
Bring margarine to a boil in a small pot on the stove. Don’t let it burn. But it needs to be boiling hot.
In a blender mix egg yolks until they lighten in color. Slowly add the hot butter and keep mixing at a low level. Add your lemon juice and keep mixing until thick (I like mine pretty thick) and then add however much Cayenne pepper as you want or need.
It’s extremely easy. You can double your recipe depending on how many people you are serving, I just always feel bad if there is more that one stick of butter being consumed in one meal!
For the Eggs Benny
So, I don’t have patience for poached eggs, and I really don’t think they are necessary. I normally make my over easy/ medium and fold them over. I feel like it tastes pretty much the same and a little less slimy. Also, anything goes in these kinds of recipes, make them to your liking, this is just a starting point.
English muffins
Thick cut bacon (cooked)
Fresh Basil
Fresh Mozzarella (you can buy this already sliced, and it works perfectly!)
Tiny tomatoes sliced (or you can used diced Tomatoes.)
Balsamic vinegar (this is the magic part…. I use a fig infused kind, but anything works really, the thicker the better.)
Two eggs (cooked however you want, though scrambled doesn’t sound awesome, but try it if you want!)
Hollandaise sauce
Toast your English muffins. Butter them as soon as they get out of the toaster. Start layering. Bacon. Cheese. Eggs. Basil. Tomatoes. Balsamic Vinegar. Hollandaise.
Guys there is no real wrong way to cook. But I can tell you…… this little concoction, tastebud explosion!
