Recipe for egg benedict with asparagus
This delicious and creamy dish can be made in many ways, and the key main ingredients are Canadian Bacon (similar to gammon) and an English Muffin.
We have created a Danish variant that, in addition to the delicious Hollandaise Sauce and a poached egg, includes turkey bacon, green asparagus, and day-old rolls (warm wheat buns).
Ingredients
- 1 pcs. Egg Yolk
- 85 gram Butter
- 30 gram Lemon Juice
- 2.5 gram Mustard Dijon
- 2.5 gram Apple Cider Vinegar
- Spices Salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper
- 2 pcs. Egg
- 15 gram Vinegar
- 4 loaves Bacon Turkey bacon
- 2 pcs. Buns Hot wheat buns
- 4 pcs. Asparagus Green
Instructions
- You gain a lot in this dish by taking the eggs out of the refrigerator in good time so that they are at room temperature both for the sauce and the poached eggs.
Sauce Hollandaise
- Melt the butter in a pan over low heat and let it cool slightly. Use a clean pan to whisk the egg yolk, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard over low heat.
- Whisk longer and harder than you might expect. When it thickens a bit, slowly add the melted butter.
- When the sauce is ready, season it with white pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- The sauce should be served immediately.
Bacon
- Fry the bacon until crispy in a medium-hot pan without fat.
Poached Egg
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, and crack each of the two eggs into its own small bowl/glass.
- Add vinegar to the water and reduce the heat so the water just simmers.
- Create a small whirlpool in the water with a spoon and drop one egg into it. Do the same with the other afterward.
- Let it simmer for 3 minutes, then take it out and trim it so it looks nice.
Asparagus
- Boil them for 1 minute, and they are ready to serve. Preferably in the water from the eggs.
- Serving
- Serve the poached egg with toasted bread (we used yesterday's hot wheat buns) and bacon. Pour the sauce on top and add, for example, thinly sliced asparagus and red onion.
