Eggs Blackstone


Everybody always talks about eggs benedict. I love eggs benedict. But every once in awhile, you've got to mix it up with some fried deliciousness. Eggs Blackstone uses bacon and a fried egg, rather than Canadian bacon and a poached egg.

Need:
bacon
egg
toasted bread
hollandaise sauce (see below)
2 egg yolks
butter
lemon juice
salt
Tabasco sauce

1. Fry bacon. Fry your eggs, toast your bread. Assemble

2. Make hollandaise sauce (I don't blame you if you add water to a package, but it's super easy to make from scratch) - using a double boiler (or a Pyrex measuring cup in a sauce pan full of boiling water) add butter. Once it is melted, add egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and a dash of Tabasco. The Tabasco is not traditional, but it's how I make mine and I LOVE it. Whisk furiously until the sauce lightens in color and thickens. If it gets too thick too fast, add a tsp of the boiling water to it and keep whisking. If it curdles, you can save it this way. You can also strain it through a fine mesh sieve. Don't give up. It's easy, but it takes a ton of practice to know how to get it just right. OR you can open a package and add water.
