Eggs Benedict with a twist

Wanted Eggs Benedict for Brunch! Worked it out with things I already had in the cupboards and fridge. Had a package of bacon. I bake mine on a wire rack on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet @ 350 degrees for about 25 min-35 min depending on how crispy you want your bacon. The fat runs off when you use the rack method or you can bake them directly on the aluminum foil lined sheet pan. They stay flat and you don't have to clean up the grease that usually splatters on the stove top.

Bacon is done! Place bacon on a couple of paper towels to get as much grease off as you can. Looks yummy, don't it?

Finished Homemade Hollandaise. Hard to take pictures when your in the process of making it. I use a food processor/blender technique and I keep it warm in a pan. 3 egg yolks, 1 stick of butter, melted and fresh lemon juice to taste, pinch of cayenne pepper. I freeze the egg whites and use them later for something else....nothing goes to waste. **packaged hollandaise is good too. It can be a money and time saver. Always season your food to your taste, even if it comes out of a jar, can or packet!

A 1/2 filled pan of water and 1 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of salt at a slow boil. (medium heat) Gonna poach my eggs in this.

Crack egg into any 1 cup measure or a small bowl. Makes it easier to pour into simmering water to poach.

I used a slotted spoon and spun the water around in the pan and created a whirlpool to drop my egg into. Cook 2 to 4 minutes.

No English Muffins!! Frozen waffles will work!

Beautiful poached egg!! eh?!!!!
