Best breakfast Food Challenge

in #food8 years ago

Hey steemers, this is my first post on the steemit community and what better way to start then by responding to a food challenge?

I love cooking and eating but mostly cooking, i really enjoy simple but tasty food, so for my dish i made a tomato and nuts salad with a poached egg and hollandaise, inspired on my favourite breakfast Eggs Benedict.
 

Here are the Ingredients:

Rocket, tomato, croutons, spring onions, Eggs, Nuts (almonds and hazelnut), Parsley (chives is a good alternative), Seed mix (Sunflower, Pumpkin, golden linseed and sesame)

For the Hollandaise: Egg yolk, butter, vinegar and lime juice


 Start by making the hollandaise sauce. While you're melting the butter, add a splash of vinegar (I used cherry vinegar) a bit of salt and pepper to the egg yolk and whisk in a very low heat for 30sec(or in a water bath), you have to be very careful not to over cook the yolk, then add very slowly the melted butter while your whisking the yolk mix, to finish add a splash of lime juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
 When your done make your tomato salad, cut the tomato in 8 wedges, add the chopped spring onions and the rocket, mix with the seeds and finish with the croutons, season to taste.
 To make the poach egg just boil some water with salt and vinegar, drop the heat down so it doesn’t break the egg and add the egg (its good to use a small glass) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes (depending on the size of the egg.
 So there you go, a simple and tasty way to start your day. Its very nice to have a fresh lemonade to go with.
 

Enjoy
