Eggs Benedict with Asparagus and Goat Cheese
So I am a big breakfast person. I am usually cooking for myself and my 5 year old son during the week. He is a picky eater and usually eats something simple such as cereal, scrambled eggs or french toast from the freezer. No matter how hard I try, he insists that everything is gross and won't attempt to eat it. Lol! The average 5 year old right! Anyway I made this for myself this morning with no one to share it with. But I will make the recipe for two.
Ingredients
2 slices bread toasted and buttered
handful asparagus with ends broken off
4 large eggs
1 Tbsp butter
Olive oil
1/2 lemon juiced
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
cayenne pepper {optional}
chives {optional}
Hollandaise Sauce
In double boiler, heat water on low. Add butter to top boiler. Wait until melted and then add 2 egg yolks mixing well and frequently making sure it stays at sauce consistency. Add lemon juice and wine. Continue stirring and cooking until its a thick sauce. Remove from stove.
Steam asparagus for 4 min. or until done. Fry eggs to your liking. I like mine over medium. Have toast prepared. Add fried egg to toast then asparagus, then hollandaise sauce. Top with sprinkled goat cheese, chives and cayenne pepper.
