Eggs Benedict
By Jaime Belden
INGREDIENTS:
4 eggs
4 thick (1/4-inch to 1/2-inch) vine tomato slices
8 to 12 large basil leaves
4 slices of blue cheese
1 cup of Hollandaise sauce
Paprika
PREPARATION:
Poach the 4 eggs in hot boiling water. While poaching the eggs, place the tomato slices on your serving plate. Place the cheese over the tomato; use cheese generously enough to cover the tomato slices. You can replace the blue cheese with any other type of strong cheese. Place 2-3 basil leaves over the cheese. You can replace the basil with arugula, if you prefer. Place the poached eggs over each portion previously plated. Pour Hollandaise sauce over the eggs. (If you don't know how to prepare Hollandaise sauce, you may have to Google it, or just get a Knorr® packet.) Sprinkle some paprika over the eggs to taste. Plus, it looks cool. Serves 4.
