Eggs Benedict

SO! Sean just got back into town and I was going to hang out with Betsy today before the party. There were NO English Muffins...dang...SO...I had to make some more. So right when she got here I started making them and I needed to post at least one thing today. PLUS, I've been doing a blog photo thing and recipe thing for practically every food item I have cooked recently.

Okay so, here goes.

First you have to make the English Muffins.

English Muffins

Yeast Proof:

1 cup warm water

1 Tbsp sugar

½ Tbsp yeast

Bread:

2¾ cups bread flour

½ tsp salt

2 tsp salted butter

1 tsp sugar

½ tsp Baking soda

 First you need to mix the yeast and wet ingredients and sugar together and let it proof for about 10-20 minutes (Let the yeast rise and activate in the water).  Sift the bread flour and salt and baking soda ect. into another bowl.  Cut in the butter.   Mix it well and make a well int he middle.  

Add in the proofed liquid and then mix it well.  

Roll it out onto a floured surface and knead it well using the palm of your hand for about 5 minutes.

Roll out and cut into 6-7 little pieces of equal size.  

 

Then roll them into smooth spheres. lightly brush the bottom with water and then cover it with white or yellow corn meal.  

Next place them on a non-stick sheet and cover with a moist paper towel.  Let them rise for about 15 minutes.

After they raise Prep the pan to cook them on.

Grease a Non-stick pan.  

Warm it up to medium heat.  Cook on a medium-low heat until browned on the bottom.  

Flip it over and cook until it's cooked on the other side. 

Take them off and put them on a plate.  Microwave them for about 45 seconds to cook them all the way through.  DONE!

Now we make the Hollandaise Sauce.

Hollandaise Sauce

1 Tbsp Mayonnaise

½ tsp lemon juice

1 tsp sugar

¼ tsp salt

1 egg yolk

2 Tbsp butter melted room temp

Mix them all together! YAY!...heat slowly over double boiler if you'd like.

How to Poach an Egg

First you have to heat up your water and put  in about a tsp of vinegar.  When it barely boils take it of the heat.  Crack the eggs into the hot and let then sit until they cook a little (about 1 min).  

Then put it on the heat and let it boil until it cooks the white.  

Take out the eggs and set them on paper towel in a plate or bowl.

Now we make the Eggs Benedict part! Om nom nom nom nom!!!
