Pancha, Alexis, and Rachel did the heavy lifting in the kitchen, making irresistible piles of toasted croissants, sliced avocado and tomato, poached eggs, and homemade hollandaise sauce:
Bryan, Margot, Joel, and I were the most enthusiastic fan club ever:
Especially Margot*:
* although she would not, could not be convinced to taste even the tiniest nibble of nasturtium.
Since there's always a weekend a-comin', I have re-posted the recipe here for your brunching pleasure. The original can be found at Joel & Rachel's blog.
Egg Benedict with Yogurt Hollandaise Sauce
Hollandaise Sauce
1 cup plain yogurt
3 egg yolks
Juice of 2 key limes (or 2 teaspoons of lemon or lime juice)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
Ground pepper
Other ingredients
Poached eggs
Toasted bread (English muffins, croissants, Turkish bread, etc.)
A BUNCH of cooked bacon [I left this in as part of the original recipe, but avocado & tomato are much better...]
Beat together the egg yolks, yogurt, lemon/lime juice in a double boiler. Cook for about 15 minutes until sauce thickens. Keep stirring - it might become thinner then thicker, but just stay with it.
Remove from heat and add the salt, pepper and mustard and stir it in.
During all this I would start cooking the bacon or slicing the veggies. Then poach the eggs and the toast the bread.
Serve like this: Place a piece of toasted bread on bottom, then add veggies (you could also use wilted spinach or a favourite roasted veggie), then the poached egg, then pour the warm hollandaise sauce over everything. Enjoy!
