Eggs Benedict: 
This recipe is fromy my favourite food website Taste.com.au


Ingredients (serves 4) 

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 8 rashers bacon, trimmed
• 8 thick slices sourdough bread, toasted
• 8 poached eggs
• Tarragon leaves, to serve
• 3 egg yolks, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 tbs lemon juice
• 200g unsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature

Method

1. Preheat oven to 100C. Line an oven tray with foil. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add half the bacon and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning once, or until golden and crisp. Transfer to lined tray. Repeat with remaining bacon. Place into oven to keep warm.
2. For sauce, whisk yolks and lemon juice together in a small heatproof bowl. Place bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water (make sure bowl doesn't touch water). Add 1 piece of butter. Whisk until melted. Continue adding butter, 1 piece at a time, whisking after each addition, until sauce starts to thicken. Once this happens you can add 3-4 pieces at a time, continuing until all butter has been added. If bowl gets too hot remove from heat and continue adding butter, then return to pan. If sauce is too thick, add a little hot water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Place toast on plates. Top with bacon and poached eggs. Spoon over hollandaise sauce and sprinkle with tarragon. Season to taste. Serve.

Notes & tips

• Cook's tip: For something different, try replacing the bacon with slices of smoked salmon and the tarragon with dill. Wilt baby spinach leaves in a little butter in a frying pan over low heat, then serve alongside eggs Benedict.
