POACHED EGGS ON ENGLISH MUFFINS WITH HELGA'S HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• For the English muffins: Whisk together the flour and instant yeast in a large bowl.
• In a large measuring cup, combine the water, milk, melted butter, sugar and salt.
• Slowly add the liquid to the flour mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth. (The dough should be loose and sticky, not runny.) Cover and let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in volume.
• Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat; spray liberally with nonstick spray. Place six 4-inch tart rings on the griddle; spray the inside of each ring liberally (see Cook's Note).
• Using a large cookie scoop or 1/2 cup measuring cup sprayed with nonstick spray, fill the rings halfway with batter. (I spray my fingers and use them to push the batter to the edge of the rings, since it doesn't spread as easily as, say, pancake batter.) Griddle the muffins for ten minutes.
• Flip the muffins, using tongs or a spatula, and griddle for another 10 minutes. (I find that the griddle oil starts to blacken at this point, and if I'm feeling like a perfectionist, I'll remove the muffins to a cooling rack, wipe down the griddle, and respray it to keep the muffins from getting too dark on the reverse side.)
• For the hollandaise: Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch each of salt and white pepper in a blender; blend until combined. With the blender running, slowly pour in the melted butter. Blend until emulsified, about 30 seconds.
• For the poached eggs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add 1 tablespoon water to 6 cups of a standard muffin pan, then crack an egg into each cup. Bake for 11 minutes for a soft yolk; the exact time will vary depending on your oven and preferred level of doneness.
• To assemble: Slice an English muffin in half. Top with a slice of tomato and a strip of bacon. Using a rubber spatula, slide a poached egg from the muffin pan and place it on top of the bacon. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce, and serve with the top half of the muffin on the side.

PERFECT POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Pour 2 tablespoons of vinegar into the poaching water.
• Crack open eggs one at a time, into a small bowl.
• Bring the water to a boil, then reduce temperature.
• When water reaches a gentle simmer, pour egg into a ladle.
• Gently transfer eggs into simmering water.
• The egg whites will coagulate instantly & the vinegar will change the pH level of the poaching water.
• Poach the eggs for 3 minutes spooning the simmering water over the eggs.
• When the whites become opaque and feel firm to the touch they are done.
• Gently remove eggs with a slotted spoon and lay them on sheets of paper towel to dry.
• Serve immediately.

OVEN POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For easier clean-up, grease each muffin cup. Then add 1 tablespoon water to each muffin cup-even if you are NOT making a full batch. Adding water to the empty muffins cups will help the pan not scorch in the oven.
• Crack one egg into each muffin cup, for as many eggs as you would like to poach.
• Bake for 11-13 minutes. 11 minutes, the yolk is very runny and egg whites are just about set; 13 minutes, the yolk is runny, but beginning to set around edges and egg whites are completely set.
• Using a spoon, gently scoop out the poached eggs at an angle, allowing the water to drain off the poached egg.
• Serve immediately.

POACHED EGGS IN A MUFFIN TIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pour about 1 tablespoon water into each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin, then crack an egg into each. Bake until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to the desired runniness, 10 to 15 minutes.

OVEN POACHED EGGS, WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Use a shallow single servce baking dish, place the all ingredients except eggs, and micro wave 2 minutes.
• Remove from micro wave, add eggs and place under pre heated broiler, on high for 6 to 9 minutes (depending on how done you like your eggs).
• Remove and enjoy.

PRESSURE COOKER POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Add 1 cup of water to the pressure cooker pot and put trivet inside
• Spray a silicone tray with nonstick cooking spray
• Crack the desired number of eggs into the holes of the silicone tray. Then place silicone tray in the Instant Pot on top of the trivet
• Close the lid and secure it. Turn the valve to the sealing position
• Cook at high pressure for 3 minutes
• When cooking is complete, use quick-release to reduce the pressure in the Instant Pot
• Check the eggs and see if the egg white is cooked and the yellow center slightly jiggly
• If the eggs are not done yet return the lid on the pot and let the eggs sit for a few minutes. If the egg white is really runny, pressure cook for 1 more minute
• Use a small spoon to gently scoop it from the tray
• Serve immediately
