Hello,
A few weeks ago I made my first fattie, it turned out great! A few days later the September fattie throwdown was announced, so I said ‘what the heck’ – I’ve never competed in anything before, but I figured I’d toss a fattie in the smoker and see what happens.
After a couple cigars and chatting with the wife, I came up with the idea of a ‘Benedict Fattie’ (She makes a KILLER homemade hollandaise sauce!) Because I travel off and on for work, our opportunity to make it was the same weekend the competition ended, so we had one chance to get it right…and I think we did! I felt so good about the end result, being only our second attempt – it was already a win for us! J
I took my pictures, cut in, took a couple more, and ate… it was delicious!
I was going though the process of sending the pictures in for judging when I realized I missed the step where you put the code word in the picture. L No time to re-do. Total bummer. After a week of kicking myself, I decided to share the pictures anyway.
This is a breakfast fattie comprised of cheese, hash browns, sweet onion, jalapeño, & mushrooms, wrapped in Jimmy Dean sausage regular and thin sliced bacon (for better rendering). It was smoked for ~3 hours with apple and a little hickory. To serve, we placed a slice on a toasted & buttered English muffin, topped it with a poached egg and finally, home made Hollandaise sauce and a dusting of Hungarian Paprika.
Bon appétit
