Early Morning Open Thread - [Niedermeyer's Dead Horse]

Good morning, sleepyhead.

Eggs Blackstone

(4 servings)

4 English muffins
8 eggs
8 half-inch slices tomato
1 Tablespoon butter
16 slices bacon - crisp-cooked and crumbled
Hollandaise sauce (recipe included)
Split muffins with a fork; toast. Poach eggs to desired doneness in simmering water.

While eggs cook, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; brown tomato slices on both sides in butter.

Place a tomato slice on each muffin half and sprinkle with some of the crumbled bacon. Place a poached egg on top and cover generously with Hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle lightly with remaining bacon and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

Hollandaise Sauce: Cut 1 cup of butter in 12 equal pieces. In top of double boiler combine 4 egg yolks, 3 Tablespoons lemon juice and 4 pieces of the butter; place over simmering water and stir rapidly with a wire whisk till butter melts. Add remaining butter 1 piece at a time, stirring till each piece melts before adding another. Add a dash of cayenne and serve immediately. (If sauce starts to thicken before it is served, add a small amount of boiling water while stirring.) Makes 1 and 1/2 cups.
