Eggs Benny

After a week out of province (with a very slow internet connection), followed by a week of sickness (curse you stupid cold!), I'm finally, FINALLY on the mend and in a blogging mood again!! And since I posted the above image to my facebook close to 2 weeks ago now, promising the miracle recipe soon, I figure that's where I should start!

If you've been following along with my Instagram, you may have seen a post or two about Eggs Benedict. It's been a big year in Eggs Benny for me, I've graduated from first taste, to first attempt at home, to first mastered dish (a.k.a I accomplished a sauce that didn't separate!). You can view the word 'mastered' very lightly in this particular case, but I've experienced many trials and tribulations with this finicky sauce, so I feel I've overcome mountains!! In any case, I can honestly say I've tried many methods, with depressing results, until this blender method changed my life! Ok... so that may sound a tad over-dramatic, but when you know with certainty that you're not going to ruin your sauce, and have to start over again - waste another 3 eggs and a stick and a half of butter - you're not nearly as anxious when preparing it! Shout out to Simply Recipes for the tip!

Anywho, on with the recipe! Since I've also made this several times, I've established a rough timeline of how to prepare the other aspects of the eggs benny dish, so it's all nice and warm when you put it together. If worst comes to worst, heat everything in the microwave for a few seconds before adding the hollandaise, or preheat your oven to a low temp and leave your ingredients in there as you prepare them!

My Food List Challenge Update!

It's hard to believe today is August 31st?! Where has the summer gone? If you'll remember 2 months ago on June 1st, I made a Pledge to increase the number of foods I've tried by a minimum of 10! Well yesterday, I reached my goal! Below is a recap of the delicious journey I've taken in food this summer.

Eggs Benedict - Check!

Hey Everyone, I'm happy to report I've just crossed another item off my Food List Challenge - Eggs Benedict. Now you may be wondering how I've gone this long without trying it, and after devouring it this morning I'm wondering the same! Truth is, I didn't think I liked hollandaise sauce... boy was I wrong. The Paula Deen inside of me was jumping for joy as I was cutting more and more butter into the sauce. Overall, I must say it was delish! Though, after messing up one pot of sauce, poaching the eggs (my first time might I add) and ensuring everything was timed properly, the next Eggs Benny I eat will be at a cafe.

With that said, the Eggs Benedict brings me half way to my summer goal for the Food List Challenge: 5 new foods down, 5 new foods to go!
