Viewed: 51 - Published at: 5 years agoIngredients
- 8 (large) eggs
- 4 (large) egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- Salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco
- 8 slices applewood-smoked bacon, halved crosswise
- 5 ounces baby arugula
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 4 English muffins, split and toasted
Method
- In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water, whisk the 4 egg yolks with the wine and a pinch of salt until doubled in volume and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the melted butter, whisking constantly, until a thick, creamy sauce forms, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the lemon juice and Tabasco and season the hollandaise with salt. Keep the hollandaise sauce warm, whisking occasionally.
- In a skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, turning once, until crisp, 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat in the skillet. Add the arugula, toss quickly in the hot oil and transfer to a plate; season with salt.
- Bring a large, deep skillet of water to a simmer over moderate heat and add the vinegar. One at a time, break the eggs into a small bowl and pour them into the simmering water, leaving plenty of space between them. Poach the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the eggs to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Arrange the toasted English muffin halves on plates and top with the bacon, poached eggs, arugula and hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately.
