Foodie Friday: Brunch Basics – Part 3

8248930619_a1e9fe73c4_zWelcome to the third installment of Brunch Basics. To be fair I could easily dedicate the entirety of Foodie Friday to the subject but then I wouldn’t be able to share all of the other great stuff with you from week to week.

This week I wanted to focus on the simple art of egg cookery. This subject can be very delicate for some of us that cherish a perfectly cooked over easy egg or a light, fluffy omelet and there are a few tricks to getting the results you are looking for. If you have ever been to a restaurant and got eggs that were over cooked, rubbery, or just bad, do yourself a favor and stop going there.

You can make the perfect egg in your own kitchen every morning with just a little extra care, a couple of tricks of the trade, and the right equipment. This week I will try to cover what I think to be the two most common ways people like their eggs. Enjoy!

Foodie Friday: Brunch Basics – Part 2

5039_101375121406_6244512_nIn the realm of egg cookery there are a lot of possibilities. A simple scrambled egg can spiral into an endless combination of temperatures, additions, and techniques that result in or are a party to a tasty meal.

When it comes to brunch there are a couple things that immediately come to mind and both of them are in this weeks recipe. I chose Hollandaise because it is a mother sauce that is absolutely essential to brunch. Whether is is Eggs Benedict or Bearnaise sauce with your steak and prawns, it just belongs at the table. This recipe should be easy to double if desired, although, you may need a bigger boat (bowl & pan). You can add any number of flavorings to your completed sauce to make it your own. I like to add Dijon mustard, coarse ground black pepper, and basil for example. You can also sub out the lemon juice for lime or orange and switch up the type of hot sauce. I also like to serve Hollandaise on the table for guests to add to whatever. Why hold back on brunch? Enjoy!
