Blt Eggs Benedict Recipe By Tasty Food

BLT EGGS BENEDICT WITH ROASTED POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes, smashed garlic and 2 of the thyme sprigs into a pot of cold water. Season the water generously with kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and lightly smash (I used a bench scraper). Transfer the potatoes into a bowl and toss with the red pepper flakes, a drizzle of olive oil and kosher salt to taste. Place onto a sheet tray in a single layer and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until crispy. Garnish with the grated Parmesan and chives.
• Toss the sliced tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and kosher salt to taste in a large bowl. Lay the sliced tomatoes onto one half of a sheet tray lined with a rack. Lay 8 bacon strips onto the other half of the sheet tray. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then remove the tomatoes and continue cooking the bacon for 10 minutes more.
• Slice the remaining 4 bacon strips into lardons and place into a saute pan. Turn on the heat to medium-low and cook until the bacon is crispy and the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Strain the bacon fat through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and set aside.
• Fill a large, high-sided pan with water about halfway up. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer until there are almost no bubbles. Add 1/4 cup of the vinegar to the water. Crack the 4 eggs into the water and poach the eggs for about 3 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and gently place the eggs into a bowl of room temperature water to hold until ready to serve.
• Preheat a large saute pan with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pullman rounds and toast on both sides until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Combine the clarified butter and the reserved bacon fat and set aside. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the shallots, bay leaf, black peppercorns, 2 tablespoons water, the remaining 2 tablespoons of vinegar and the remaining 2 thyme sprigs into a small saute pan and turn on the heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes or until the liquid has mostly reduced. Turn off the heat, then add 3 to 4 ice cubes and swirl the pan to fully melt and cool down the mixture. Strain the mixture into a large, heat-resistant bowl.
• Add the egg yolks and lemon juice into the bowl and whisk until the yolks are pale yellow and foamy. Set the bowl over the pot of boiling water to create a double boiler, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Reduce the heat to low. Whisk the eggs vigorously until frothy and fluffy and it starts to thicken slightly. Very slowly, a drop at a time, add the clarified butter and bacon fat mixture while continuing to whisk. Continue to add gradually until the sauce is thickened but still flows-it should coat the back of a spoon. If the bowl gets too hot or the eggs look like they're in danger of scrambling, immediately pull off the bowl from the heat and add an ice cube to cool it down, then return to the heat. Season to taste with kosher salt. If the sauce gets too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out.
• To assemble, lay down a toasted piece of bread and top with two bacon slices, some iceberg lettuce, roasted tomato, a poached egg and a spoonful of the bacon fat hollandaise. Serve alongside the roasted potato hash.

THE BEST EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Fill a large saucepan with 2 quarts water. Add the vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, toast the English muffins until golden brown. Spread with butter and place on one side of a baking sheet. Keep warm in the oven.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until heated through, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer the bacon to the other side of the baking sheet to keep warm.
• Melt the remaining butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the yolks, lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the cayenne to a blender. Blend for 1 minute. With the blender running, pour the melted butter very slowly through the open hole of the blender lid until smooth, thick and emulsified. Transfer the sauce back to the saucepan and place in the oven to keep warm.
• Crack the whole eggs into small cups or glasses. If your simmering water has reduced too much, add a bit more water and bring back to a steady simmer. When the water is at a steady simmer, slip the eggs into the water in one quick motion, arranging them clockwise in the pan so you know which will be ready first.. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
• Top each muffin half with a slice of Canadian bacon and a poached egg. Pour hollandaise sauce over each muffin. (If the sauce has thickened too much, whisk it with a tablespoon of water.) Sprinkle each serving with a little cayenne and serve immediately.
