Christmas 12 - Breakfast on Boxing day.

I've decided to step away from veg and give some of my readers what they want - Eggs Benadict!
This is not the slimline version of anything! I don't make this to any specific numbered recipe but if you want weights and measures I'm sure there are recipes on line.

Eggs Benadict for 4

8 eggs
3 egg yolks
4 large slices of ham
Butter
4 English muffins
Lemon juice
Salt and Pepper

Poach the eight eggs (this can be done the night before and the eggs kept in cold water in the fridge to be warmed up the following day). Pop the yolks into a bowl over just simmering water, add a tablespoon of lemon juice and whisk until incorporated. Add a thumbnail size piece of butter and whisk until blended in - keep doing this until the sauce is thick but still "pour-ble". It is vital that you do not allow the sauce to overheat or you will have scrambled eggs. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. This will keep warm for ages.
Split, toast and butter the muffins, pop the ham on top, pop a couple of hot eggs on to and pour over ooozy ribbons of the sauce.

I hope this does it for you!
