Eggs Benedict

eggs benedict

Serves 2
Hollandaise Sauce
3 eggs yolks
½ cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
¼ teaspoon turmeric
pinch of black pepper and cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fill a medium pan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce heat so the water is simmering. In a glass, heat proof bowl whisk the eggs until well incorporated. Place the bowl over the simmering water while continuously whisking. Continue for 2-3 minutes whisking until the consistency is thick enough so that when it trails off whisk it’s not loose. Add the melted coconut oil 1 tablespoon at a time while still continuously whisking. Make sure to incorporate each tablespoon of the coconut oil fully before adding the next. When all the coconut oil is added, mix in the salt, black, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Then add the lemon juice. Continue whisking and make sure is the perfect thickness and should drizzle off a spoon. Allow sauce to sit over very low heat while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Poached Eggs
4 large free range eggs
