Eggs Benedict - My Way

[sawhorseray]

Now that I'm rich in Canadian Bacon this morning cried out for a Eggs Benedict breakfast, it's my favorite. Got the cast of characters assembled on the island in the kitchen, oven turned to 185º, large deep skillet of water with a half cup of vinegar added to poach the eggs.

While the skillet was heating up to a nice simmer I cut the English muffins in half and dressed them up with a slice of smoked cheddar that I did this past Xmas and a slice of my CB, into the oven for ten minutes to beat up the CB and melt the cheese. The smoked cheddar adds a nice touch!

Once the skillet vinegar-water was heated to just below a boil I dropped in the eggs. I use a wide mouth mason jar ring in the pan so the eggs hold form, lift the rings off with a pair of BBQ tongs after a couple of minutes.

While that's going on I start the Hollandaise sauce, I use half a pack, easy peasy and perfect every time.

The eggs and Hollandaise are both done in five minutes, pop the goods out of the oven and transfer to a fresh plate

Spoon on some of that sauce, add some black pepper

At the table with a nice glass of cran-mango juice. Bon Appetit!

Doesn't take long to gobble this down, Bob was more than happy to assist with cleanup.

Boy howdy was this ever a great way to begin the day, absolutely delicious! Bob cleaned my plate, Jan did the dishes, and I just about need a nap! Probably going to be a fairly light dinner tonight, this ones a wrap. Thanks for lookin' in stay safe and warm as possible! RAY

[sawhorseray]

Thanks Teal! It's my favorite breakfast too and pretty darned easy to pull off. When we lived in CA and I had my ocean going boat sometimes I'd make Dungeness Crab Benedict, I do miss that. Thanks for the Like Teal, I appreciate it! RAY

Thank you! Bob's my third bench springer and the first one who doesn't have to hunt, tho he spends a lot of time protecting the pool fountains from the evil doves, hates them. Thank you for the Like GS, I appreciate it. RAY

Thank you Wurstmeister! More for dinner would be too much to handle for me, Bob and I had to go over to the park to walk some of that breakfast off. Thanks you for the Like, I do appreciate it. RAY

Thank Jim, it is easy! The whole thing takes maybe twenty minutes, the cleanup is what's a killer. Fortunately Bob and Jan took care of all that, I'd have left everything in the sink until was later. Thanks for the Like, much appreciated. RAY

Thanks Richie! Years back I tried making Hollandaise sauce from scratch and it was more a pain than it was worth, the Knorrs is the best packaged I've found. When Jan isn't having any right at the end I like to squeeze in a few drops of fresh lemon juice, it a nice add. Thank you for the Like Richie, I do appreciate it. RAY

looks delicous Ray, looks like Bob gave ya paws up

Thank Jim! Bob never begs or gets pushy, but when I'm eating or at the cutting board Bob sits right at my side patiently waiting, he doesn't get stiffed unless the food is something spicy. My old lab used to sit there and drool until we got sick of that and put her outside when we ate. Thank you for the Like Jim, I do appreciate it. RAY

That looks great Ray. Love a good Benedict. Don't have it often enough, the Mrs. doesn't like it. Great job again on that CB. Glad Bob got to help clean up. Nice work. Stay safe.

Currently we have Lucy, the puppy in my avatar. She's a year old and 50/50 Boykin and English Springer. She is a double hand full, either 100 mph or asleep, but has really stolen our/my heart and needs a lot of attention. Lucy is built exactly like your Bob. I'm not planning to hunt her, but she's got it in her, very noticeable. Extremely soft mouth. We also have an 8 year old full blooded Cocker. Before Lucy, we had Riley, another English. Losing him still hurts tremendously. Smartest dog I've ever owned and I swear that he could read my mind.
