Toutons Benedict

I do look forward to my weekend brunches and this Toutons Benedict really hit the spot.

Toutons instead of toasted English muffins are much better as the base for this twist on a classic brunch dish. Fried tomato slices are delicious with this brunch and are just excellent with the freshly made Hollandaise Sauce.

Now I know some of you are thinking why didn’t he use fried bologna instead of ham? Don’t Newfoundlanders love fried bologna? Well I don’t much care for bologna, fried or otherwise really, but fill yer boots if you’d rather use that.

I happened to have some beautiful Dijon Mustard and Demerara Sugar Glazed Ham leftover from supper the other night. I sliced that thin and lightly fried it before slipping it on top of a warm touton along with a poached egg and a simple blender version of Hollandaise Sauce.

Newfoundland Toutons are a wonderful base for Eggs Benedict.

My Toutons Benedict version is pictured here with some very delicious Old Fashioned Molasses & Bacon Baked Beans. Together they make for a very hearty brunch that will see you well through to supper.

Not a fan of Hollandaise Sauce?

This version using the Molasses and Bacon Baked Beans as pictured in the other photographs, stacks up pretty deliciously, all on its own.

Ingredients

• 4 toutons
• 4 poached eggs
• 8 ounces ham, thinly sliced and lightly fried

For the Easy Summer Savoury Hollandaise Sauce

• 3 egg yolks
• 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp fresh or dried summer savoury, optional
• 1/2 cup hot melted butter

Instructions

1. Prepare the toutons and lightly fry the ham. Hold them in a warm oven while you poach the eggs and make the Hollandaise sauce
2. In a blender combine the egg yolks, mustard and lemon juice for only a few seconds. With the blender on medium speed, slowly pour in the hot butter in a thin stream. The sauce should thicken quite quickly. Pour into a bowl and keep the bowl warm in a warm water bath while preparing the other components of the Toutons Benedict.
3. Place the cooked ham on the warm toutons, top with a poached egg and finally the Hollandaise sauce.
