Eggs Benedict Salad With Dill Hollandaise Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• For hollandaise sauce, in top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over simmering water, whisk egg yolks, water and lemon juice until blended; cook until mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon and temperature reaches 160°, whisking constantly. Remove from heat. Very slowly drizzle in warm melted butter, whisking constantly. Whisk in pepper. Transfer to a small bowl if necessary. Place bowl in a larger bowl of warm water. Keep warm, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve, up to 30 minutes., Place 2-3 in. of water in a large saucepan or skillet with high sides. Bring to a boil; adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Break 1 egg into a small bowl; holding bowl close to surface of water, slip egg into water. Repeat with 3 more eggs. , Cook, uncovered, 2-4 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Using a slotted spoon, lift eggs out of water. Repeat with remaining 4 eggs., Top each muffin half with a slice of bacon, a poached egg and 2 tablespoons sauce; sprinkle with paprika. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Fill a large wide pot with about 3 inches of water and a hefty splash of vinegar. Bring to a low simmer.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the onions, bacon, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion and the bacon are browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Put the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the 1 tablespoon vinegar, the lemon zest and juice, yogurt, 1 tablespoon water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a jar or other container with a lid. Secure the lid and shake well to combine. (The dressing can be made a day ahead; shake well before serving.)
• Toss the greens, tomatoes, onion-bacon mixture and dressing in a large bowl. Add salt to taste. Divide among 4 salad bowls.
• Toast the English muffins and cut each in half.
• Crack 1 egg into a small bowl. Swirl the simmering water, then gently slide the egg into it. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place 1 on top of each salad. Garnish each salad with 2 English muffin pieces and a few grinds of pepper.

Steps:

• 1. In a blender, combine egg yolks, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
• 2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and heat until bubbling hot.
• 3. Cover the blender and blend the egg yolk mixture on high speed for several seconds.
• 4. Either remove center cap of blender lid or carefully remove the lid itself with blender still running.
• 5. Pour hot butter in a thin stream into whirring egg mixture.
• 6. Add dill and pulse to combine.
• 7. Taste sauce and adjust seasoning with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• BASIC 1-2-3
• If sauce gets too thick, add one tablespoon of hot water at a time to make it thinner.

Steps:

• Fill a medium to large pot with 4 inches of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cover the pot.
• To make the hollandaise sauce: In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard, cayenne, and salt and blend it briefly to combine.
• In a small skillet or pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it's almost fully melted and starting to bubble but there are still a few pieces of solid butter remaining, remove it from the heat. (Please note: Do not melt the butter in the microwave, as you don't have control over the temperature and the temperature is key for making this blender hollandaise sauce.)
• With the lid on the blender, turn it on low to medium speed, then slowly and carefully remove the cap in the lid (keeping the lid on) and pour in a little butter. Blend until the butter is incorporated, then with the blender running, carefully pour in the rest of the butter, little by little.
• Be careful, because this can splatter and make a very big mess! The mixture should instantly thicken up and create a delicious smooth hollandaise sauce. If it fails to thicken up right away, blend it on really high speed for a minute.
• Keep the hollandaise sauce in the blender jar and give it a quick blend every minute or so or place the blender jar in a large bowl of warm water to keep the sauce warm so a film doesn't form on the top.
• To make the eggs Benedict: Take the lid off the pot of water and add the vinegar.
• Put the English muffin halves in the toaster. The English muffins and eggs will take the same amount of time, so you want to have the English muffins toasted and ready when the eggs finish cooking.
• Crack one of the eggs into a small bowl. With a spoon, give the simmering water in the pot a quick clockwise stir so there is a little movement in the water. Once the water has almost stopped swirling, gently and carefully dip the bowl into the top of the water and dump the egg into the water. Without agitating the water again, repeat with the other eggs. Poach the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes. You want the whites to be completely set but the yolks to still be jiggly.
• Place a slice of ham, a slice of smoked salmon, or 4 stalks of cooked asparagus on top of each toasted English muffin half.
• Pull each egg out of the water with a slotted spoon. Give it a little shake to let the water drain off, then place it on top of the prepared English muffin. Top each with a couple of generous spoonfuls of the hollandaise sauce. Garnish with a quick shake of cayenne and dill or chives, and you are ready to enjoy!
