Egg Benedict Bites

What a great thing. Eggs Benedict you can eat with your fingers. And you know it isn't that messy because I'm not the finger-lickin' type.

You can do this in just a few minutes, or really the time to boil eggs and make the hollandaise. Oh, and they can be however you like. Love smoked salmon? Do it. Have some left over spinach? Sauté with garlic and butter and use it. It's a platform for anything you can imagine.

Toast some bread and cut in fours.

Boil some eggs. (Btw, the absolute fool proof way is to cover the eggs with water and put on just under max heat. When comes to a rolling boil, time 5 min. Then remove from heat and run cold water over it till you can handle peel and slice. Perfect. )

Make Hollandaise: in a metal or glass bowl whisk three egg yolks with 1/4 tsp salt, a pinch pepper, and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Put a small saucepan of water on to boil. Melt a stick of butter separately. Place egg bowl over the boiling water and whisk as you drizzle the butter in. Keep whisking over the water until the sauce takes a consistency that it coats a spoon thickly. Done.

We layered

Smoked salmon
Sliced egg (salt and pepper)

Kids were fighting over them. So good. Served for birthday breakfast today with Nutella croissants, cappuccino, mango, and homemade Orange Julius.
