Eggspect to Make it Yourself

When you are a graduate with a student debt, you will not have the luxury to go dining from restaurant to restaurant. Most of the time the restaurants overprice simple dishes that can made at home. Not everyone can make a poached egg, much less the hollandaise sauce. Most of the time it takes so much materials and effort that you may give up in the process and end up going to the restaurant. However, when you are reminded of what your goals are in life, you can save on the meal plus tip and attempt to make the perfect (or most decent eggs benedict) at home.

When it's made there is something magical about eating it. This particular eggs benedict made has a bed of bacon and tomato then topped with onions caramelized in bacon fat with extra bits of sauteed bacon bits. The cilantro is the finishing touch to give it a bit of that fresco feeling. The price I paid to make it was under 20 dollars and I have enough hollandaise sauce left over to make eggs benedict for myself the rest of the week or for friends who want to do brunch. The recipe was simple mix egg yolk over low temperature until it thickens, then add butter gradually eventually adding water to thin it out. Most recipes make it sound complicated, but the process is fairly simple once you understand the chemistry of eggs.You may not be able to afford all the delicacies in a restaurant, but that should not discourage you from bringing the restaurant home.
