Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 egg yolks, room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
6 ounces clarified butter
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne
2 cups tomatoes, peeled seeded and finely chopped (or 1 cup tomato sauce, made fresh with vine-ripe tomatoes works wonderfully)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices bread, toasted
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • CHORON SAUCE: In a heatproof bowl whisk egg yolks with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice until thick and pale. Set bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, stirring constantly, until warm but not hot.
  • Stir in butter, a few tablespoons at a time, until all butter is incorporated. Cook, stirring, until sauce thickens enough to lightly coat back of a spoon.
  • Remove from heat and stir in remaining lemon juice, Tabasco, salt, pepper and cayenne, to taste. Fold in tomatoes. Makes About 2 cups.
  • POACHING EGGS: In a shallow saucepan or skillet bring 2 inches cold water and vinegar to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat until water simmers gently.
  • Break eggs, one at a time, into a ramekin or coffee cup; holding ramekin as close as possible to water, gently slip egg into water. Poach eggs 3 minutes for very soft-cooked, 5 minutes for medium-soft.
  • Using a slotted spoon, scoop out eggs and place onto toast (which is on warmed plates). If necessary, gently pat eggs dry with paper towels.

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality meats and cheeses.
  • Don't Overcook Your Eggs: Eggs are a delicate ingredient, so it's important to cook them carefully. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery, so err on the side of caution and take them off the heat a little early.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to season your dishes to taste. A little salt and pepper can go a long way in enhancing the flavors of your ingredients.
  • Garnish Your Dishes: A simple garnish can make your dish look more appealing and inviting. Try using fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil to add a finishing touch.
