ITALIAN STYLE EGGS BENEDICT
INGREDIENTS
METHOD
1.To make the hollandaise sauce, whisk the egg yolks in a bowl until creamy.
2.Place the lemon juice and vinegar in a small sauce pan along with the bay leaf and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and pour slowly into the egg yolks in a steady stream, whisking continuously.
3.Pour the melted butter into the egg mixture in the same way, whisk-ing continuously until the sauce has thickened.
4.Add a pinch of nutmeg and season to taste. Keep warm and stir at regular intervals to prevent a skin from forming.
5.Lightly toast the ciabattas on both sides, drizzle with olive oil and rub basil leaves into the bread. Lay a slice of Parma ham on top of each and then grill for 1-2 minutes. Keep warm.
6.To poach the whole eggs, bring a large saucepan with 10cm water to the boil. Crack each egg into a small bowl and then tip carefully into the boiling water. Poach for 2½ minutes and then carefully lift out of the water. Drain.
7.To serve, place a poached egg on top of each slice of ciabatta, spoon over plenty of the hollandaise sauce and arrange another slice of Parma ham on top of each serving.

Sainsburys ingredients always look so fresh and good. I don't think we could find such beautifully packaged items like that here in the states, but I think that is just how the British do it. Just beautiful and looked great as always!

[@TheSatsChannel]

Can You Make A Triffle?💛

[@Annie65H]

You know I love you guys and I think you are great in the kitchen. But I do have to say be careful about that cling film. It may be different in the U.K. -- but a popular one in the U.S. mentions on the box, for example, allow one inch of space between ClingWrap and food when microwaving. So with that thought, I don't think that ClingWrap or cling film is really meant for "cooking". I didn't ask the company for a longer explanation, but I have read in other places when plastics are heated they have a better chance of releasing toxins and if they contact food - it can get in there. Where is Doc Martin when you want him! LOL! I know that you all have different stuff over there and vise versa - just be careful. XOXOXO

[@Jesyca2006]

yummy

[@SoMarrietas]

"Kirsch" is german and it means "cherry" (:

[@tammimarie]

Mm mm looks so great, but I don't think it's good to cook things in plastic.
