I have been wanting to learn how to make Hollandaise sauce from scratch ever since my friend Heather Andrews turned me on to them. We worked opposite shifts as QCs on a fishing boat in Alaska and when she'd come to relieve me she'd help me finish up and i'd help her start up then we'd go up and have breakfast...The cook made, thank goodness, really good eggs benedict and i was hooked ever since.
Well, today we learned how to make Hollandaise sauce. I'm gonna upload the vid i took in class. We're supposed to make it in class tomorrow so I went to the store and bought the ingredients for it and attempted to make it. My first try was a flop, my emulsion well, it wasn't an emulsion so i tried again lol... My second try was a success as far as the texture of the emulsion but the white wine vinegar was a little strong and a little strong on the lemon too but is still made for a good topping on the eggs.
So, I made fob benedicts lol. It was getting late and i didn't want to go about poaching the eggs and all so...I toasted and buttered Hawaiian sweet bread, flash fried canadian bacon, and fried 2 eggs and put the sauce on it and well, it was pretty good. I'll have to work on the sauce a little more but it's a start. =}
It's late and i'm tired so that's my blip for my BFFs today.
