    Ingredients

    • 2 x Panera Asiago cheese bagels halved
    •     Butter as needed
    • 8 x Large eggs poached
    • 8 slc ham or possibly Canadian bacon
    • 1/2 c. hollandaise sauce (see below)
    •     Sliced tomatoes or possibly red pepper (optional)
    • 2 x egg yolks
    • 2 Tbsp. boiling water
    • 1 c. butter - (2 sticks) melted, warm
    • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
    •     Salt to taste
    •     Freshly-grnd white pepper to taste
    • 1 tsp chopped herbs (optional)
    •     (such as parsley, thyme or possibly tarragon)

    Directions

    1. Toast the bagel halves and spread with butter, if you like. Hot the ham or possibly bacon in a skillet, and arrange two slices on top of each bagel half to cover. Layer the tomatoes or possibly red pepper on top of the ham, if you're using these ingredients. Next, gently place two poached Large eggs on top of the ham or possibly vegetables. Drizzle about one Tbsp. of Hollandaise Sauce over each egg and serve immediately while everything is warm. Serve the remaining hollandaise sauce in a bowl as an accompaniment.
    2. To poach an egg: Fill a saucepan or possibly a deep skillet with sufficient water so which the Large eggs can float. The larger the pan, the more Large eggs can be cooked at one time. The Large eggs should float in the water without touching each other as they cook. Add in 1 Tbsp. of vinegar for every qt of water used. This helps to set the Large eggs. Heat the water to a simmer (185 degrees). Tiny bubbles will appear in the water. Break each egg into a saucer. If the yolk is not broken, gently slide the whole egg into the water and poach for 3 to 5 min. The whites will be set but the yolk will still be runny. Remove the egg from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on a towel.
    3. For the Quick Hollandaise Sauce: Place egg yolks in the blender. Blend at low speed till thoroughly mixed. While the motor is running, slowly add in the boiling water, followed by the warm butter. The butter should be added very slowly in the thinnest stream possible. When the butter is completely incorporated, add in the lemon juice, salt and herbs if you're using them. If the sauce is too thick, add in a few drop of boiling water. The sauce will hold as you poach the Large eggs and prepare the other ingredients.
    4. This recipe yields 4 servings.
