Eggs + Lox Benedict

I think we can all agree, Brunch

is the best time of the weekend.

St. Louis is filled with AMAZING

brunch spots, but some weekends,

it's kind of nice to 

have brunch at home.

One of our absolute favorite go-to

brunch meals is Eggs Benedict.

Eggs Benedict gets a bad wrap 

for being "difficult" to make at home.

You have to poach eggs, which 

can sound like a daunting task,

make your own hollandaise, 

it's a process. Luckily, we've mastered

the art of an EASY recipe that you

can make at home in ten minutes time,

and with a little twist non-the less!

We decided to make ours with Lox instead

of the traditional Canadian bacon.

We also found these AMAZING pouches

 called Pouchies at Crate and Barrel

that make poaching eggs ridiculously

easy.

you will need:

1/2 dozen eggs

• You will need 3 egg yolks and

2 regular eggs

English Muffin

1 pkg of lox (cured salmon)

1/4 tbsp. Cayenne pepper

1.5 tsp salt

dash pepper

1 stick of butter

1 tbs lemon juice

Poachies (if you do not know how to poach eggs)

Immersion Blender

To start:

1. Fill a small sauce pan with water

and turn on medium/high heat. You will

want your water at a rolling boil when you

are ready to poach your eggs.

2. Take your stick of butter and melt it

in a saucepan on medium to low heat.

You don't not want to "over heat" the 

butter.

3. While the water is boiling and butter is melting

start making your hollaindaise sauce. Take your

egg yolks, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and salt and put

them into a container. You will want a container

that your Immersion Blender head will

submerge into your mixture.

4. Turn on the immersion blender and blend contents 

for one minute

 5. By now your water should be at a boil. Reduce

Heat to create a rolling boil. Then follow instructions

On your Pouchies to begin poaching your eggs.

6. Then take your melted butter and bring it over

To your egg mixture. While immersion blender is on,

Pour the melted butter into your egg mixture.

7. Blend for about 30 seconds to mix.

  

8. Split open your English muffin and top with

Your lox. By this time the eggs should be done

Or close to done. Take poached egg and put on

Top of the lox.

9. Pour your hollandaise over the benedcits.

 Enjoy!
