All things breakfast

So what do you like for breakfast at a B&B?  My usual cooked is eggs, bacon, mushrooms & tomatoes.  Luckily this morning I was asked to do one of my favourites, Eggs Benedict.  So here's my recipe for a tasty filling start to a day of activities.  This recipe serves 2:

grill 4 rashers bacon, wrap and keep warm
make Hollandaise Sauce:

ingredients
250g unsalted butter cut into cubes
2 egg yolks
drop water
lemon juice

method
put egg yolks, drop of water and lemon juice into a blender, season
whizz up
melt butter in saucepan but do not let boil or bubble
slowly add butter to other ingredients and mix as you go
continue to blend until thick
set aside keeping warm

heat 2 plates
split and toast 2 muffins
poach 2 eggs

place one side of each muffin on each plate
place 2 rashers of bacon on top of muffin
place poached egg on top of the bacon
pour Hollandaise sauce over
top with other half of muffin

decorate to look pretty and appealing with some green stuff like parsley ... or not!!

ENJOY xxx
