Eggs Benedict
Ingredients:
For the hollandaise sauce:-- or you can buy premade sauce
4 egg yolks
2 Tbs. lemon and lime juice
1 Tbs. water
1/8 tsp. salt
2 pinches of freshly ground white pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
16 Tbs. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and
cooled slightly
4 English muffins, split, or 8 crumpets
3 Tbs. softened unsalted butter
8 slices baked ham, each 1/4 inch thick and cut
to fit English muffins or crumpets
8 eggs
Directions:
Preheat a broiler.
To make the sauce, in a small, heavy saucepan over low heat, whisk the egg yolks, lemon and lime juice and water constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and continue whisking for about 1 minute more, but remove the pan from the heat as soon as the mixture thickens. Transfer the mixture to a blender, add the salt, white pepper and cayenne pepper and blend until smooth. Let cool for 1 minute. With the motor running, slowly pour in the melted butter in a thin stream until incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Transfer the sauce to a saucepan and keep warm over very low heat.
Lightly spread the cut sides of each muffin or the tops of each crumpet with 1 tsp. of the butter and broil until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the broiler, cover the muffins or crumpets with aluminum foil and keep warm in the oven.
Meanwhile, in a small saut茅 pan over medium-high heat, melt the remaining 1 tsp. butter. Add the ham and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Keep warm.
Fill an egg-poaching pan with 1/2 inch water, set the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Lightly coat the poaching cups with nonstick cooking spray and crack an egg into each cup. Cover and cook until the whites are firm and the yolks are glazed over but still soft, about 3 minutes, or until done to your liking. Transfer the eggs to a warmed plate and repeat with the remaining eggs.
Place 2 muffin halves or 2 crumpets on each of 4 warmed individual plates. Top each muffin half or crumpet with a slice of ham, an egg and some of the sauce. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

Premade Pie Dough
For the filling:
6 lean bacon slices
3/4 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
3/4 cup milk, at room temperature
3 eggs, at room temperature
1 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted
1 cup shredded Gruy猫re cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cayenne pepper, to taste
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
Directions:
Preheat the oven temperature to 375潞F.
Place the pie dough in a pie pan
To make the filling, in a fry pan over medium-high heat, fry the bacon until crisp and golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. When cool enough to handle, crumble into small bits. Scatter the crumbled bacon over the bottom of the pastry shell.
In a bowl, combine the cream, milk, eggs and melted butter. Using a whisk or fork, beat until well blended. Stir in the cheese and season with salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Pour into the prepared pastry shell and sprinkle the top lightly with nutmeg.
Bake until the custard is set and the tip of a knife inserted into the center of the custard comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for several minutes before serving. Serves 6 to 8.What are some good egg recipes for breakfast?
French Toast- Whip some eggs and let a thick piece of bread soak it and cook.
Scrambled Eggs- Cook some eggs in a regular pan and let it cook, then cut up when it looks solid.
Boiled Eggs- Depending on the egg size, put the egg in hot water and let sit for about 10-20 minutes.
Sunny Side-Up- Just crack the egg right in the pan, and be CAREFUL! Oil will disperse and you may get burned. It's best to tilt the pan for the i oil to cook the top, let sit for a bit, then put some oil on top and BE CAREFUL!
Remember you must put oil in every recipe EXCEPT french toast, probably best to use Pam Non-Stick Spray for it.What are some good egg recipes for breakfast?

I like to do homemade McMuffin type things.
Scramble and egg and stick it in a small pan, then stick a slice of cheese on top.
Toast an english muffin and grab some bacon, then stick it all in the muffin.
