Classic Canadian Bacon Eggs Benedict
- 4 pieces Canadian bacon
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons white or rice vinegar
- 2 rosemary focaccia dinner rolls
- butter
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- dash of cayenne or Tabasco
- 2 tablespoons baby greens or chopped chives, for garnish
- Start with the bacon.
- Heat a large skillet on medium low heat.
- Add the slices of Canadian bacon.
- Slowly cook, turning occasionally (about 5 minutes).
- Use tongs or a fork to remove the bacon from the pan, set on a paper towel to absorb the excess fat.
- While the bacon is cooking, bring a large saucepan two-thirds-filled with water to a boil, then add the vinegar.
- Bring the water to a boil again, and then lower the heat to a bare simmer.
- To make blender hollandaise, melt the unsalted butter.
- Put the egg yolks, lemon juice and salt in a blender and blend on medium to medium high speed for 20-30 seconds, until eggs lighten in color.
- Turn blender down to lowest setting, slowly dribble in the hot melted butter, while continuing to blend.
- Taste for salt and acidity and add more salt or lemon juice to taste.
- Transfer it to a container you can use for pouring and set it on a warm but not hot place on or near the stovetop.
- Poach the eggs.
- As soon as all the eggs are in the poaching water, begin toasting your rosemary focaccia.
- If you cant get all the focaccia toasted by the time the eggs are ready, gently remove the eggs from the poaching water and set in a bowl.
- To assemble the eggs benedict, butter one side of a rosemary focaccia dinner roll.
- Top with one slice of Canadian bacon.
- You can trim the bacon to fit if youd like.
- Place a poached egg on top of the bacon and then pour some hollandaise over.
- Sprinkle baby greens or chopped chives over it and serve immediately.
