lobster eggs Benedict
As a huge fan of of the most important meal of the day, breakfast doesn’t have to be routine and blasé. Here are a few off-the-menu delicious, comforting, and tasty ideas to live up the most important meal of the day. Give the cereals and avocado toast a break, and unleash your inner foodie- and you don’t even have to fly to Tuscany and sign up for a food course (although I highly recommend it for a later time).
Some of my personal favorites:
Lobster Benedict (For 2)
Cook a 1 pound lobster in a large pot of boiling water until pink (10 minutes). Let cool slightly under cold running water, slit the tail shell vertically using kitchen shears, then remove the meat from the tail and claws. Crack the claws to remove the meat. Hint: You can also use cooked chopped lobster tail meat about as a shortcut.
Poach 2-4 eggs for about 3 minutes in an egg poacher, or in skillet of simmering water with a tablespoon of vinegar added. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and pat dry with a paper towel.
Toast 2 whole wheat biscuits or english muffins, place the halves on a plate, and carefully arrange the lobster meat on top. Then layer the beautiful poached eggs at the end, sprinkle with chopped parsley, fresh pepper or paprika if you like. Voila. Melted butter, cheese, hollandaise, and crisp bacon, are completely delicious and optional.
Soft Fluffy Creamy Scramble Eggs (For 2). Siberian Osetra Caviar and Black Truffle Necessary
in a bowl, whisk or fork about 6 eggs and add a splash of crème fraîche. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet pan.
Slow cook the eggs over low heat, gradually turning, stirring, and mixing with a spatula. Add a teaspoon of butter and cheese. Stir in the caviar or black truffle. Here’s a great place to test out truffles, and see here to buy the Siberian osetra caviar.
Turn off the heat once it reaches a soft, fluffy, juicy consistency. Stir in chives or minced parsley. Plate and garnish with kumquat berries.
