Ingredients

Scale

For poached eggs:
2 eggs
pot of water
3 Tbsp vinegar

Hollandaise Sauce
1 egg yolk
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp  water
4 oz butter, melted

Other ingredients:
4 asparagus stalks, cooked
2 slices of deli ham
small bunch of spinach
1 English muffin, halved and toasted


Instructions

Directions for the Hollandaise Sauce

  1. In a glass bowl (heatproof) or metal bowl whisk the egg yolk, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and water together until foamy.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil, and place the bowl on top of the pot and bring the mixture to a warm temperature.
  3. Whisk in the melted butter. Keep whisking until the sauce thickens.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside.

Directions for Poached Eggs

  1. Boil a pot of water with 3 Tbsp of vinegar.
  2. Break each egg into a separate bowl.
  3. Once the water boils, pour an egg into the water. Use a slotted spoon to gently move the egg whites over the yolk.
  4. If you want a runny yolk, cook for 1-2 mins. If you want a harder yolk, cook for 3-4 mins. When the time is up, remove from the water with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to dry. Repeat for second egg.

To Plate:

  1. Split the English muffin in half, toast it.
  2. Cook the asparagus any way you prefer. I pan grilled mine before I poached the eggs or made the hollandaise sauce.
  3. Construct your glorious brunch!
