Merry Christmas Everyone!


Here's our Christmas morning breakfast:
AIGS BENEDICT.



First, I fried up some ham slices.








Then, I steamed some spinach.











Next, I started my hollandaise sauce. I whisked two aig yolks and the juice of a lemon over low heat.
Whisk constantly and do not let come to a boil, else the aigs will curdle.








When the yolks get light colored and foamy, it's time to add in the butter.











Add one tablespoon of butter at a time, whisking constantly. I used about 3/4 stick of butter.


















And here's my lovely buttery,
lemony hollandaise.







Bring water and some vinegar to a boil in a deep pan. Stir it to make a vortex.






















Drop aig INto the vortex. It should wrap all the white around the yolk and make a nice little package. Cook about a minute.










Here's my aigs benedict. Toasted English muffin, spinach, ham, poached aig, hollandaise sauce.
