That’s sort of like a ‘Chiles Rellenos’ casserole. Looks very good!

You can’t escape this shakshuka (sp) and its different manifestations. The Guardian! The Telegraph! The New York Times! The Jerusalem Post! The NY Post and The Star-Ledger.

It’s just an old dish that was once called Eggs in Purgatory and eaten while drunk, lol.

Ack! That should be 12”, measured at base, not top rims, skillet. You couldn’t fry two eggs in an 8” skillet.

Yes, I saw many references to it as an excellent ‘hangover cure’ :-)

I make eggs Benedict every morning for breakfast. It is pretty smooth when you get used to the order of operations.

For 2 people
Fill a large saucepan with water (3-5qts). Place at high heat and add a pinch of salt.

Fill 2 small flattish bowls with vinegar (I use spoon rests)

Break an egg into each bowl without breaking yolks.

Heat a small saute pan and add 1T of butter.

Place 1T of butter in a small flattish bowl that will accommodate your English muffin. Microwave the bowl for ~ 1 minute til melted.

Return to the stove and place a handful of Simply potatoes hash browns in the saute pan, flatten and press with a spatula (you wanted hash browns right?) When the water in the pot is boiling vigorously lower it to a low boil.

Now go off about your business for 3-4 minutes until the hash browns are brown around the edges. Slice the top off the English muffins and start the toaster (setting 5 for us, yours may vary). Then flip the hash browns using two spatulas.

This is the fun part. Use a whisk to create a whirlpool in your pot of water. It helps to stay out toward the edge of the pot and swirl smoothly to avoid eddies.

When the whirlpool shows a center depression stop whisking and immediately gently tip the egg & vinegar into the very center, following with the second egg. The second egg actually helps keep the first round & centered.

Start a timer for 3-4 minutes depending on how runny you want the yolk. We use 3 min 15 sec. You can fine tune by lifting the egg at the end of the time with a spatula and seeing how firm it is. When you have 2 minutes left dip your Canadian bacon slice in the butter and slide the hash browns to allow you space for two slices of Canadian bacon in your pan. Flip the bacon after 1 minute.

The toaster will pop just before the timer sounds. Invert the English muffins in the melted butter and press down. Place each muffin on a plate.

Stack the Canadian bacon slices one to each English muffin.

Lift the eggs out of the boiling water with a spatula and place on a folded paper towel.

Place 1/2 of the hash browns on each plate.

Roll egg by lifting paper towel so second surface is dried and invert egg onto bacon.

Top with Benedicta Bearnaise Sauce

Thank you for that as well - guess having a Mimosa or two at the same time would help ...LOL

Definitely : )
Although we go with lime seltzer I could see the Mimosa working very well.

It should look something like this if you held your mouth just right during the process.

Good gravy hollandaise, man, this is a pilot who's been petitioned to make breakfast, not rocket surgery eggs! :)

I’ve never had a hangover in which I had an appetite. More bromo selzer and hot tea and an ice pack were more my style!

Its really easy, honest. The steps nestle together and its 20 mins start to finish. I have been making them every morning for more than 3 years. The first couple weeks I just didn’t talk while making them now, no worries.

We probably should have explained the vinegar part.

Vinegar changes the PH balance of the simmering water so the eggs don’t spread out like fried eggs, and hold their round, spherical shape.
