Eggs Benedict

Lulu bought. I cooked. Charles, Lulu and I ate!

I fuckin love Eggs Benedict and have always wanted to know how to make Hollandaise sauce and thanks to Bridge's new cook book I now know how to;

Cost: £10 (feeds 4)

Time: 15 minutes (it took me a bit longer as I cooked each thing separately)

Ingredients:

8 Slices of Ham
4 Muffins
150g of butter
11 eggs
Lemon juice
1 tablespoon Single Cream
Salt & Pepper
1 tablespoon cold water

Method:

Sauce: Beat 3 egg yolks with the water over a low heat and add 125g of butter (little by little) And once the mixtue thickens add some lemon juice and the cream along with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper.

Meanwhile; Poach your eggs and heat the ham under a low grill whilst toasting your muffins.

Once your eggs are poached and the muffins are toasted and buttered, layer the ham onto the muffins and top with the poached eggs adding a generous spoonful of hollandaise over the lot and cracking lots of black pepper over that. Beautiful!
