These have been New Year's Day traditional treats at the Dill household for years, but they are an excellent choice for any special occasion.
Blender hollandaise
Rest of Dish (per serving)
Mix all the ingredients in a blender except the butter. This can be done early, several
hours before needed, then all you need to do is melt the butter without boiling but hot,
just before serving. Then slowlly add the butter to the blender while slowly blending. As
soon as thoroughly blended it is ready to pour on the eggs.
I like to poach eggs the old fashion way with just a little wrinkle. Put the egg into the
microwave just enough time to set the white slightly the put it into slightly boiling
water and poach to the desired amount. Some like the yellow hard and some don't. Take a
small custard sized cup or use a small coffee cup, break the egg without breaking the
yellow, punch a small tooth-pich sized hole into the yolk (yellow),place into the
microwave about 20 sec., then put it into the boiling water to finish the job. A slotted
spoon does a nice job with the egg in the boiling water. If you don't punch the hole int
the yellow the egg will explode.
Toast or warm the holland rusks at the last minute, place the bacon or ham, then place the
egg and pour the sauce. The eggs can be done before, even the night before. Just keep then
in a dish of water and warn them up with warm water. If done the same day just keep them
in warm water in the oven. This recipe serves 2-4 persons depending.
Melt brown sugar and butter in flat chafing dish or sauce pan. It needs to be large if more than about 6 people. Add banana and saute until tender. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Pour in banana liquer and rum over all and flame (the boiling bubbles of alcohol will flame -just use a match). Serve over ice cream. 1 serving. Use real butter!
