Mobile:Eggs Benedict for dinner

I'm hooked lately - made Eggs Benedict last night and tonight for dinner. So delicious, and tonight I didn't ruin any eggs while poaching. Last night I went through a few! Have you made them before?

    The key to a good poach is adding a little white vinegar to the water. It'll never work otherwise.

    I did that both nights (actually, I used lemon juice tonight), but using Alton Brown's method tonight really made a difference (https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/poached-egg-tips-recipe/index.html)

    It was easy! I used Ina Garten's method (the blender) with the Food Network Kitchens recipe, and my preference is to have a little extra lemon juice and a pinch of sugar. It turns out bright yellow because of the fresh, pastured eggs we get (the yolks of which I am quite comfortable having raw/warm).

    And, because I'm a nerd who takes pics of food I made (my fam and I share pics) here's a pick of last nights:

    Hey, if I make food that turns out pretty, you bet your butt I'm photographing that sh!t. Looks tasty! I'll give it a try, since we've got our own chickens, the yolks are super bright like yours, so we'll have matching neon hollandaise sauce.

    haha, nice! Yeah there was no color enhancement there :). Those yolks are so good for growing babies. That's cool you have your own chickens! We could have 8 here in the city of Seattle, so we might, someday.

    If I'm ever sure you aren't an internet creeper and we have a Sept13 playdate, I'll bring you some eggs. :) I'm north of Seattle, but I've got a zoo pass for Woodland Park and head down that way as often as I can.



    LOL sounds good.

    You can eat whatever you want, technically. Her eggs are pasturized, so that is why she feels safe eating them, mine are laid by my chickens and unpasturized, and I choose to eat them despite that, because I trust my chickens would never hurt me (that last part was a joke, my chickens can be evil b!tches...but I do eat runny yolks).

    No, no you misread.Stick out tongue My eggs are pastured. They feed on grass and bugs and dirt, just like yours. And I'm ok with that - I trust the source, just like I do the milk we buy (NOT grocery store milk). I break a lot of the "do not eat" rules in pregnancy when my knowledge of the source overrides the broad worry over the food.

    DH would love me forever if I made eggs benedict... but then he'd ask for it every night! He already seems to do that with homemade biscuits and gravy.

    I'm so jealous of the chickens. We're renting right now, but really high up on our home buying list is having enough room for chickens (and living in an area where they aren't against city code).

    (and FWIW, I've never used anything like vinegar in my egg poaching water and have never had an issue. The only problem I've had is if the water is boiling too hard)

    Where do you buy your milk? I'm new to Seattle and haven't found a good source yet. Raw is ok with me.

    Funny you should ask because I run a raw milk drop at my house, with grass-fed whole milk from a farm near the Olympics. PM me and I'll send you info, if you're interested in info about it.  If I didn't have that as an option, I'd probably buy the non-homogonized, grass-fed whole milk that PCC carries.  Welcome to Seattle! We've been here almost 4 years, from the east coast, and we LOVE it.

    Oh cool, thanks I'll PM you in the morning. That's the kind we get from PCC currently, but I'd love to find a good raw source. I'm an east coaster too, from Florida!
