This recipe comes from a little book called ABC Jiffy Cookery. I've had it for over 50 years. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet. I'm putting them here so I can find them easier. Ingredients:
4 thin slices ham, fried |
4 slices toast or 4 english muffins |
4 eggs, poached |
hollandaise sauce |
1/2 lb butter |
3 egg yolks |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 -2 drop tabasco sauce (or a few grains cayenne) |
Directions:
1. Arrange slice of fried ham on each piece of buttered muffin or toast. Top with a poached egg and spoon quick Hollandaise sauce over all.
2. Quick Hollandaise sauce:.
3. Melt 1/2 pound butter over hot (not boiling) water. Add 3 egg yolks, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1-2 drops of tabasco all at once, and beat with rotary beater until thick. Remove from hot water, pour over eggs and serve immediately. Uses double boiler.
4. Egg-Boiling Hint: Always wet egg shells before placing the eggs in water to boil, to prevent cracking. A cracked egg can still be boiled if you rub the cracked spot with moistened salt before placing the egg into boiling water.
