Eggs Hussarde Poached Eggs With Tasso Divinity Sauce And Hollandaise Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the water: Add enough water to come 1 inch up the side of a narrow, deep 2-quart saucier. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons white vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, crack 1 very fresh cold large egg into a custard cup or small ramekin. Use the handle of a spatula or spoon to quickly stir the water in one direction until it's all smoothly spinning around.
• TIP: Use this whirlpool method when poaching a single serving (one or two eggs). For bigger batches, heat the water, salt and vinegar in a 12-inch nonstick skillet and do not stir.
• Add the egg: Carefully drop the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water will help prevent the white from "feathering," or spreading out in the pan.
• Let it poach: Turn off the heat, cover the pan and set your timer for 5 minutes. Don't peek, poke, stir or accost the egg in any way.
• Lift it out: Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Alternatively, move the egg to an ice bath and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Reheat in warm water just before serving.

Steps:

• Divinity Sauce: Heat 1 tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Add wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; strain through a sieve. Set aside. Hollandaise: Pour water into a medium saucepan to a depth of 2 inches. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Whisk lemon juice, yolks, and 2 tbsp. water together in a heatproof bowl until frothy. Nestle bowl over simmering water and cook, whisking constantly, until pale yellow and thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and slowly drizzle in remaining butter in a thin stream, whisking constantly, to form a thick sauce. Whisk in a pinch of cayenne and salt. Cover to keep warm. Fill a large pot with at least 6 inches of poaching liquid (for every 4 cups of water, add ½ cup distilled white vinegar and ½ tsp. salt). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high to maintain a very gentle boil. Quickly crack each egg into the pot while holding your hands about 3 inches above the water. Poach eggs, without stirring, until yolks are set but still runny in the middle, 4½ -5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a paper towel-lined plate; trim off trailing egg whites, if preferred. Set oven rack 4 inches from the broiler; preheat. Put muffin halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Arrange 3 slices tasso on each, drizzle tasso with divinity sauce, and top each with a tomato slice. Broil until tomatoes are bubbly, 3-4 minutes. Divide muffin halves between plates. Top each with a poached egg and spoon hollandaise over the top.
