Ingredients

  • 16 slices bacon
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 8 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted
  • 8 eggs
  • 3 egg yolks, whites reserved for Ham and Cheese Souffle recipe
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salt
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted, should be hot to the touch
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Arrange 8 slices of bacon on each tray and bake until brown and crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Fill a large deep-sided skillet 3/4 of the way up with water. Bring to a light simmer over low heat and add the vinegar.

Using a 3 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds from the center of each piece of toast. (Reserve the crust for the Round 2 recipe Savory Bread Pudding with Ham).

Crack the eggs, 1 at a time, into a small dish or ramekin and slide each into the lightly simmering water. Fan the egg white over the yolk with a slotted spoon if it begins to spread. Poach the eggs until the white is set but yolk is still runny in the middle, about 2 to 3 minutes, Remove the eggs to a towel lined plate to drain.

In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne and a pinch of salt. Blend to combine, then turn the blender on and slowly pour the melted butter through the hole in the blender lid.

Put 2 slices of toast on each plate. Break the bacon strips in half and place 4 halves on each toast round, then top with a poached egg. Slowly pour the hollandaise over the top. Sprinkle each with chopped parsley and serve.

    For once, Sandra did not put her pantry "envelopes" to good use. I would just substitute a hollandaise packet from the grocery store. Costs a tad, but then "no worries" for those with raw egg issues.

    Yummy! But, as Erik has noted, the directions on line here at FN dot com omit the step about the double-boiler! On TV, Sandra gives her processed mixture a 2-3 minute turn in a slow double-boiler set up. Slow meaning just boiling enough to heat the top bowl and my guess is that this step was added to avoid the outcry of the many who would warn about eating uncooked egg yolks!
    Cooking the processed mix just a tad will not be enough to kill off any contamination, IMO. If this bothers you, then true Hollandaise Sauce should not be on your wanna eat list. Fresh egg yolks make for THE great sauce and this recipe makes a great sauce.
