Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • For the Benedict
  • 2 english muffins lightly toasted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 8-10 ounces kalua pork
  • 2 small baby bok choy sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
  • For the Hollandaise:
  • 4 tablespoon butter melted ( I use Kerrygold)
  • 4 Egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1-3 teaspoon Sriracha
  • Sea Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoon water room temp

Instructions
 

Make the hollandaise:

  • Fill a pan less than halfway with water, set it over medium heat until simmering.
  • In a medium bowl, that fits the pan with water but wont touch the water when placed on it, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice briskly until thickened. You can use a hand mixer for this to speed up the process. Set the bowl over the pan of simmering water while continuing to whisk the mixture and slowly add in the melted butter a little at a time. Once all the butter is combined and the mixture has thickened back up, turn off the heat. Add in the salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon of the sriracha. Whisk again well. Taste and add more sriracha if desired for more heat. The mixture will be thick. If not using immediately keep warm and when ready to use whisk again and add water, 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach desired consistency. Spoon over benedict when ready to serve.

Make the poached eggs:

  • Set a deep saucepan, at least 3” deep with water and bring to a simmer. Add in 1 teaspoon vinegar. Crack one egg into a very shallow bowl and slowly set it into the simmering water. Using a spoon gently fold any stray egg white to keep the egg as compact as possible. Add 1-2 more eggs this way. You don’t want to over crowd the pan. Simmer 2-3 min for runny yolks, 5-6 min for well done. Remove using a slotted spoon. Gently transfer to a paper towel to get rid of excess water and then place on top of the muffins when ready.

For the Bok Choy:

  • Slice off the bottom of the baby bok choy and separate all the leaves. Rinse well and pat dry. Heat a small sauté pan with 1 teaspoon coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped baby bok choy and sauté about 4-5 minutes until softened. This can be done while the eggs are poaching.

For assembly:

  • Toast the English muffin and place two halves on a plate. Top with each with 2 ounces of the kalua pork, then ¼ cup of the baby bok choy. Top with the poached egg and spoon some of the hollandaise on top. Serve immediately!

Notes

Notes: **I used my kalua pork recipe found here. You can make it overnight to be ready in the am or made ahead of time and portioned out and reheated when ready to assemble. Same with the hollandaise sauce, you can make it first since it’s a 100% hands on the entire time it is being made process and kept warm until ready to use. Just slowly heat over the pan of water or double boiler and add a little room temp water until it’s the desired consistency as it will thicken as it cools.
