Poached eggs


Again, traditional flavors, and some of my favorites. Poached egg, hot hollandaise, asparagus, and caramelized crimini mushrooms, topped with crispy ground bacon.
Asparagus was cooked sous vide with butter, asparagus juice, salt and pepper. Mushrooms were sauteed in butter, salt and pepper. Bacon "bits" are just cooked bacon ground with N-Zorbit, dried further in the oven, the ground finer in the spice mill.
The hollandaise was meant to be sheeted, but I couldn't get that to work out. If anyone reads this and knows how, please drop me a line.

Hot hollandaise






This is not a new technique, at least not anymore. But this is the first time I've tried it, and it worked nicely. Now it's time to play, as I still have aboout a quart left, and some fun ideas...
