Categories     Brunch

Time 40m

Yield Serves: 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 shees of puff pasry 8x10 inch (20 x 25 cm)
1 egg
⅓ cup ( 75 mL ) (75 mL) white wine
⅓ cup ( 75 mL ) (75 mL) white wine vinegar
¼ cup ( 60 mL ) (60 mL) thinly sliced shallots
10 black peppercorns
10 coriander seeds
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp ( 30 mL ) hollandaise reduction
¾ cup ( 175 mL ) clarified butter
A pinch of salt
½ cup ( 125 mL ) (125 mL) bacon, cut into ¼ inch (0.6 cm) pieces
¼ cup ( 60 mL ) shallots, diced
2 cups ( 500 mL ) spinach
4 soft poached eggs
¼ cup ( 60 mL ) spinach, cut into matchsticks

Steps:

  • Puff Pastry Basket
  • Lay down fridge-cold puff pastry on a cutting board. Cut the puff pastry into four oval shapes using an oval shaped cutter. Using a knife, cut just the center out of two of the ovals, leaving a ½ inch (1.3 cm) border. Next, cut two ½ inch (1.3 cm) strips of pastry lengthwise down your sheet. In a bowl, crack the egg and add 1 tbsp of water and mix well.
  • Using a brush, brush egg over full ovals, then lay the cut-out ovals on top making sure the edges line up. Brush the border well with egg wash. Egg wash both sides of your ½ inch (1.3 cm) strips. Carefully twist the strip as you place it onto your border all the way around until it reconnects on the other side. Brush with egg wash one more time.
  • Place the 'puff pastry baskets' on a parchment-lined tray. Bake in a preheated convection oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-22 minutes, until dark golden brown. Allow to cool after cooking.
  • Hollandaise
  • Place all reduction ingredients into a small pot on medium-high heat and reduce by 80%. Strain and let cool until it's time to make the sauce.
  • Hollandaise Sauce
  • Add egg yolks and reduction into a medium size glass or stainless steel bowl over a simmering pot of water that is only half full so that the bowl doesn't touch the water. Whisk nonstop until mixture is thickened and doubled in volume. Be careful not to let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble.
  • Once egg mix is thick, take off the heat and start to whisk slowly in clarified butter so that it does not split. Whisk in all butter and a pinch of salt. If you are not using the sauce right away, cover it and place in a warm area to hold.
  • Garnish
  • In a large frying pan on medium heat cook bacon. Once the bacon is slightly crispy, add shallots and cook for 1 min.
  • Add spinach and toss until it's all broken down. Remove from the pan and split it into the bottom of the pastry baskets.
  • To poach eggs, fill a saucepan with about 3 inches (8 cm) of water. Add a splash of vinegar. Heat the water until it gently simmers then break a cold egg into a small dish. Holding the dish just above the simmering water, gently slip the egg into the water. Repeat this step for remaining eggs. Cook the eggs in the simmering water until whites are set and yolks are cooked as desired, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain.
  • Next place two hot, soft poached eggs on top of the spinach mix in each basket, add hollandaise on top of your eggs.
  • Place cut raw spinach around the eggs and in the cracks to make it look like grass. Serve right away. If you have extra hollandaise serve on the side if desired.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 egg yolks
3 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch ground white pepper
⅛ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 cup butter, melted
¼ teaspoon salt
8 eggs
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
8 strips Canadian-style bacon
4 English muffins, split
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Steps:

  • 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 tablespoons at a time while whisking yolks constantly. If hollandaise begins to get too thick, add a teaspoon 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.

INSIDE-OUT EGGS BENEDICT



Inside-Out Eggs Benedict image

One morning I had a craving for eggs Benedict but didn't want to go through the whole ordeal of poaching the eggs and making the sauce so this recipe is what I came up with.

Provided by Jess

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Meat and Seafood     Bacon

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup butter, divided
4 slices bread
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 dash ground black pepper
2 slices bacon, or to taste
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon butter over bread slices. Place buttered side-down in a grill pan; cook until crispy, about 3 minutes. Place 2 bread slices grilled side-down on a baking sheet.
  • Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, parsley, Parmesan cheese, mustard, garlic, and pepper in a bowl. Spread over bread on the baking sheet.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Place eggs in the same skillet; cook over medium-high heat until whites are set on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip over to cook the other side until whites are completely set, about 1 minute more. Layer bacon and eggs over the broiled bread and top with the 2 grilled slices.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling (pun intended) at the last minute.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your Benedict eggs will be. Look for fresh eggs, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful cheese.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The key to perfect Benedict eggs is to cook them until they are just set. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Make sure the hollandaise sauce is smooth and creamy: A good hollandaise sauce should be thick and luxurious, not thin and runny. If your sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little milk or water. If it's too thin, you can thicken it up by whisking in a little more butter.
  • Serve immediately: Benedict eggs are best served immediately after they are made. The hollandaise sauce will start to break down if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Benedict eggs are a classic brunch dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give Benedict eggs a try. You won't be disappointed.
