The Bird's Nest Benedict Recipe

Eggs Benedict is pretty great on its own, but it's even better when you're eating it out of edible hash brown bowls!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings: 6
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package (20 ounces) hash browns thawed
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 6 slices Canadian bacon
  • 8 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Pack hash browns into Bake-a-Bowl Pan and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until hash brown bowls are golden brown.
  2. I used my Anova Precision Cooker to make my poached eggs. If you'd like to go the immersion circulator route as well set your immersion circulator to 167° and when it comes to temperature carefully place 6 eggs into the water bath.
  3. Cook for 13 minutes and transfer to a bowl of ice water.
  4. If you want to make your poached eggs the old-fashioned way Heat 2 inches of water in a pan and add 1 teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons white vinegar. Crack your eggs into small bowls, slowly pour your eggs into the water, cover the pan, turn off heat, let sit for 5 minutes and then remove poached eggs with a slotted spoon.
  5. For the hollandaise whisk 3 egg yolks and combine with milk and lemon juice in a pan over medium heat slowly adding 8 tablespoons of melted butter. Whisk until thickened.
  6. Crack each egg shell over a slotted spoon, which will drain off any loose egg white leaving you with perfectly poached eggs.
  7. Top each hash brown bowl with a slice of Canadian bacon, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce.
