Ein Freund hat es zum Brunch zubereitet und es war ein Volltreffer, ich musste das Rezept bewerten

Servings: 4
Ingredients
– 8 large eggs (for poaching)
– 4 English muffins, divided
– 8 slices Canadian bacon
– 2 tablespoons white vinegar (for poaching eggs)
– Chives or parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
– Hollandaise sauce:
– 3 egg yolks
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– Pinch of cayenne pepper
– Salt to taste
Directions
1. Start making the hollandaise sauce: In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and salt. Mix at medium speed until the yolks become lighter in color. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and continue mixing until the sauce thickens. Set aside and keep warm.
2. To make the poached eggs, fill a deep pan or pot with about 3 inches of water. Add white vinegar and bring the water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small cup and carefully slide it into the boiling water. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
3. While the eggs are poaching, toast the English muffins until golden brown and heat the Canadian bacon in a skillet.
4. To assemble, place two muffin halves on each plate. Top each half with a slice of Canadian bacon, a poached egg and a generous spoonful of hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley and serve immediately.
Variations & Tips
– If you don’t like the Canadian bacon, substitute it with crispy pancetta, smoked salmon, or even a vegetarian option like spinach and tomato for a twist on the traditional bacon.
– For a foolproof poached egg, use the freshest eggs you can find as they hold their shape better in simmering water.
– Don’t be intimidated by the hollandaise sauce; Remember to mix slowly and continuously when adding the butter and keep the sauce warm in a heatproof bowl over a pot of warm water until ready to serve.
– Freshness is of utmost importance. Therefore, you should garnish them with herbs just before serving to preserve their vibrant color and flavor.
