Acme Bake Shop Sourdough Bread, basil, Eggs Benedict, herbs, Hollandaise Sauce, Meadowlark Farms

Yes. I know. It’s a sin to modify Hollandaise Sauce, even if it is this Easy Hollandaise. So how did I modify the Eggs Benedict? First of all I used some lightly toasted and very fresh Acme Bake Shop Sourdough Bread and then to the Hollandaise, I added 4 large leaves of chopped fresh basil. You can see the large pieces of the basil – from our yard – in the sauce in this photo. What else was local? The eggs. From Meadowlark Farms. Fresh. Deep orange yolks. Delicious eggs. The fresh fruit cup was from The Strawberry Lady at the Boise Farmers Market yesterday, and they too are awesome. It was a great breakfast. Loved it.

This is what I like about this time of year and the Boise Farmers Market. The chives in the eggs came from our garden. Truly an all Idaho breakfast. Most of these items are available at the Boise Farmers Market, every Saturday at 10th and Grove from 9am – 1pm. Take a look.

I have never tasted Scotch Eggs. Robin has, probably in another life or at Piper Pub here in Boise. They were “invented” in London in an upscale department store. Here is a link for more information on Scotch Eggs – What Are They?, posted earlier on this blog. (There is a recipe there also.) They are really not too difficult to make, but I think I should have had the heat a little lower, cooked them slower and a little longer. But they were good. Enjoy!

I made Robin an Egg In Toast – make a hole in bread, grill it, add an egg, serve it – and noticed that there was some asparagus that had to be eaten and some mushrooms. So, for me, I made this omelet that was terrific. Left-Click to see the photo enlarged. Cheers!

Acme Bake Shop Sourdough, Blender Hollandaise, Boars Head Black Forest Ham, Boise Farmers Market, Eggs Benedict

The Wise Ole Owl says that if you have not tried this fantastically easy Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce (Russ Terrell, this is still the best Hollandaise going!), you need to re-think your kitchen challenge. Notice, I said challenge not ability. If you read this blog, then your ability is sound. This recipe is soooooooooo easy and quick. And we tweaked the Eggs Benedict below and changed the bread. We did not use the English Muffin, as is traditional, but instead, we used a slice of lightly toasted Acme Bake Shop Sourdough. The bake shop is at the Boise Farmers Market each Saturday at 10th and Grove in Boise. Get yourself a loaf, or two! The best sourdough in town.

If you like crab meat and you have some of the Crab Meat Pie left over, then here is a great use for some of it. Not much, because it is pretty rich. But try these eggs. Really different and good. Cheers. They might even be good with a little Hollandaise Sauce on them. Enjoy!

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the Orchard House in Marsing, ID. and I had what they call the B o B – Best of Both. Eggs Benedict with Ham and Eggs Benedict with Spinach and Salmon. I used fresh spinach, sesame bagel and lox. I think the breakfast was awesome. The recipe for the extremely easy Hollandaise Sauce is in the recipe file above, Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce. Look at this –

Thank-You Kris Thompson, Owner of The Orchard House for the inspiration to make this. And Thank-You Russ Terrell for the awesomely easy Hollandaise sauce recipe and technique.
