Eggs-periment

So at the Victorian House across from the Viktualienmarkt, they make an awesome Eggs Benedict. But it's a little pricy -around 8 Euro. I wanted to give my hand at it this morning and what a mad scientist I was. I made the eggs okay but it got really foamy and I don't know why. I might add way more vinegar than last time and watch the boiling. I didn't make the Hollandaise sauce because I ran out of eggs (had only 3) and yeah, the stores are closed on Sundays. I used some other pre-made frenchy sauce and toasted thick slices of bread. Yummy :yes: But it only half satisfied my craving.

I found this cool video how to make a fancy version.

I have this great little pan that cooks the eggs in a perfectly round shape and fits on top of a pot full of boiling water, so it steams them. Then we use a thin slice of canadian bacon or ham, english muffin, (I don't think you can get them in Germnay, can you?) and then a hollandaise sauce, which I know both Maggi and Knorr make over there. Works like a charm. If I was there, I would make it for you!

@ Maribeth: Awe. Thanks for the offer. I think one can get an english muffin at the big supermarkets. Regular bread works just as well for me.

wow, im ready to run to ihop now. i love h-sauce! use to make the korr packet kind. whisk powder with 1 stick of butter. it was actually good.

saw a behind-the-scenes-caught-on-video show about restaurants. 2 ex-waiters siad it was common to take left over butter that came with your butte and bread, remove any debris, and use it to make h-sauce. butter is expensive and h-sauce takes a lot of it. and since it was being cooked, it really shouldnt harm you.

umm, yummy.

wonder how much a spoonful of truffle puree costs?

Even with video instruction I'm pretty sure I would fail miserably at making this. I can dream about it though!

@Pinger: Alex says a spoon full of truffels probably costs about 50 Euro b/c two big handfuls costs about 1000 Euro.

Sadly because of the MSG content in Knorr products, I'm going to forgo simplicity :annoyed: I wish Knorr made stuff without the MSG.

@Michael: Thanks :-) It's been fun.

@ Bean: It's easier than you think. But my guess the video did leave a few details out -like what not to do. That's what I need!
