my breakfast for today - eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce on ham & toast + pineapple juice. not my first in making poached eggs but in hollandaise sauce. and maybe you already grew tired of me saying this, but my 1st attempt in making hollandaise sauce was so awesome i just couldn't believe it. previously i had been putting it off coz i always felt it was very tedious, especially after coming across this recipe. sure, its gordon ramsay's but i just wanted something simple and to boil 500ml vinegar until it reduces by half + complicated steps thereafter isn't my idea of simple. so i turned to one of my trusted sites, epicurious and settled for this instead.

it.was.so.good. seriously! the sauce was really rich and creamy it was almost like mayonnaise. note that quite alot of butter is called for, about 3 egg yolks : 1 block. i reduced the amount of butter by half but its still buttery enough. so you might like to try doing that, or substitute half of it with olive oil or something. and i cut the toasts into rounds since i didn't manage to get english muffins. seriously its so good i feel like making this again for breakfast tmr :p
