Country Style Chicken Sausage Eggs Benedict Food

COUNTRY STYLE EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F for the biscuits. Cook the sausage patties in a skillet over medium low heat, turning often, until browned and cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Put the biscuits in the oven once it's preheated, and bake them for 15 or so minutes.
• 2. Reserve sausage grease in skillet on low heat. Stir the flour into the grease until well dispersed and there are no lumps. Slowly stir in the milk or cream, stirring until thickened and starting to boil. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to warm. This is your gravy.
• 3. Take biscuits out of oven and cover with a clean towel to keep warm. Fry eggs one at a time in another skillet in a little bacon grease. We like ours over-medium, but you can choose any type you like.
• 4. Split a biscuit on a serving plate. Top with a sausage patty or two, and the fried egg. Spoon thickened gravy over all.

SAUSAGE EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• Slice sausage into 3/4-inch thick patties.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown sausage 4 to 5 minutes each side; set aside.
• In a poaching pan, poach each egg until soft set, approximately 3 to 4 minutes in simmering water to which vinegar has been added. Fill shallow pan with warm water. Place each poached egg in water bath to keep until served.
• Split English muffins. Toast each half. Heat hollandaise sauce over low heat until warm.
• Place one toasted muffin half per serving on plate. Top with cooked sausage patty, then tomato and poached egg. Pour 2 tablespoons of hollandaise sauce over each egg. Sprinkle lightly with paprika.

EAT'S COUNTRY FRIED STEAK BENEDICT

Steps:

• For the gravy: Fry the bacon until crispy, and then finely chop and set aside. Crumble the sausage and saute until cooked through, and then set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan, and then stir in the flour over medium heat. Add the milk slowly, stirring constantly, and cook until thick, 5 minutes. Stir in the bacon and sausage, and season with garlic, hot sauce, thyme, salt and white and black pepper. Keep warm.
• For the steak: Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet to 350 degrees F. Pound the meat with a meat tenderizer; it should be neither thick enough to be tough, or falling apart. Dip the steak cubes in the egg wash, followed by the flour.
• Fry the steak cubes until golden brown and crispy, and then drain excess oil. Place the steak on plates, dress with the gravy and serve with eggs and potatoes.

EGGS BENEDICT WITH APPLE SAUSAGE AND MUSTARD HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• For the sausage: Chop the garlic, sprinkle it with salt, and smear to a paste with the flat-side of a knife blade. Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apple, onion, garlic paste, sage, thyme and some salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
• Add the pork, maple syrup, cayenne and some salt and pepper to the apple mixture; stir to combine. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
• Line a large plate with paper towels. Shape the sausage mixture into eight equal patties at least 3-inches wide. Heat 2 tablespoons of the remaining canola oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add four of the patties, and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on the paper towels. Repeat with another 2 tablespoons canola oil and the remaining four patties.
• For the mustard hollandaise: Put the egg yolks in a medium, stainless-steel bowl set over (not in!) a pot of simmering water. Whisk the yolks until pale yellow and fluffy. Slowly add the melted butter, a few tablespoons at a time, and whisk until thickened.
• Remove from the heat, whisk in the lemon juice, the stone-ground and Dijon mustards and the hot sauce, and season with salt to taste. Turn off the heat under the water and set the hollandaise back on the pot to keep warm while you poach the eggs.
• For the poached eggs: Combine the vinegar and 3 cups water in a large, high-sided skillet, and heat to a gentle simmer. Break each egg into a cup, and gently add to the water. Poach until the yolks are nearly set, 4 to 5 minutes.
• While the eggs cook, toast and butter the English muffins. Put two English muffin halves on each of four plates. Top each half with a sausage patty, a poached egg and a good ladleful of hollandaise. Garnish with thyme leaves, and serve immediately.
