Madeleine Albright-Poached Eggs with a Quick Hollandaise Over Rye Toast

For the Poached Eggs:

eggs

white vinegar

Heat a pot of water to a gentle boil. Add a small splash of vinegar. Working with one egg at a time, crack your eggs into a small bowl. Swirl the water in the pot and carefully tip in your eggs. Poach for 3-4 minutes depending on how soft or hard you want your yolks to cook. Gently remove the eggs and dap dry on a paper towel before serving.

For the Hollandaise:

2 egg yolks

1 tablespoon water

juice from half of a lemon

½ pound butter, melted, kept warm

pinch cayenne powder

heavy pinch salt

Combine the egg yolks, water and lemon in a tall-sided container. Using a stick blender/immersion blender combine everything. While the blender is on, carefully and slowly pour in the butter. Blender until well mixed and creamy. Season to taste with salt.

For serving:

turkey bacon, cooked

rye bread, toasted

Serve your poached eggs over rye toast with a generous spoonful of hollandaise next to a side of turkey bacon just like Madeleine Albright enjoyed.
