Cooking Tips

Cook until just coats a metal spoon:
For stirred custard mixtures, the eggs are cooked just right when a thin film adheres to a metal spoon when dipped into the custard. Stirred custards should not boil. This act of coating a metal spoon is 20 to 30 degrees below boiling. The finished product should be soft and thickened but not set. Stirred custards will thicken slightly after refrigeration.

Easy eggs benedict with ‘blender hollandaise sauce’ - easy as 1-2-3

Serves 4

Recipe by Sophie Gray

A simple approach to an old classic.

Ingredients:
4 English muffins
4 rashers of bacon
4 eggs

For the Blender Hollandaise Sauce:
3 egg yolks
2 tbsp lemon juice
150 g butter - melted
Salt and pepper

Method:

  1. The sauce can be made the night before. Place egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a blender or processer and process until pale and smooth. I tilt my big processor to increase the depth of the liquid, allowing the blades to really beat or whisk the mixture so it coagulates. Propping a book or chopping board under one edge works well. Very slowly pour in the melted butter while motor is running. The mixture should remain thick and pale. Gently reheat in a bowl set over simmering water.
  2. To assemble the dish: Simply grill or microwave the bacon rashers, toast the muffins and poach the eggs.
  3. Place the bacon on to a toasted muffin, top with a poached egg, add a spoonful of hollandaise and a grind of black pepper.
