Breakfast for Dinner

March 16, 2008 11:17 PM

or some reason, I've always been a stickler for only having certain types of food at certain times of the day. Like, usually the concept of having a fried egg after 10:30 am seems wrong--unless the egg is on top of a burger, of course. And the concept of steak for breakfast frankly baffles me.

Still, I was unsatisfied with my breakfast this morning, mostly because the chorizo in my chorizo and eggs was woefully inadequate compared to what my mom used to make. And, also, it was really, really unspicy, which is bullshit. That, together with the fact that I had nothing but breakfast food in my apartment tonight, meant that I was open to the idea of making breakfast for dinner.

So I chopped up some potatoes and cooked them up with some butter, garlic, and salt. And then I made some eggs, sunny side up, with super-runny yolks. And the whole thing was awesome.

And I started thinking: I love eggs benedict, so I'm going to have to learn how to make them. I mean, they seem really easy, except for the hollandaise, which frankly scares me: I might be a halfway competent cook when it comes to simple recipes, but I don't know if I'm ready to tackle one of the mother sauces.

I have a feeling my better half may have some choice words with you about your plans with eggs benedict, too.

Hollandaise recipe:

Step one. Go to grocery store. A real one...like Woodmans. Bring at least $2.

Step two. Go to the packet sauce aisle. Grab a packet of powdered Hollandaise sauce.

Step three. Check out. Go home.

Step four. Follow the directions on the packet. I think you'll need butter and milk. Possibly some other crap.

Or, if you want hollandaise that doesn't taste like lemony powdered milk, there is a blender version:

I can't tell it apart from the real thing, it takes less than 2 minutes, and you can make it for about 50 cents a batch. Eggs benedict never had it so good.
