topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

    Buns

  • 2 cups premium flour
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh chives, plus extra for serving
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1.5 tsp coarse salt + extra for sprinkling
  • 170 g goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup heavy cream + extra for greasing

    Quick Hollandaise Sauce

  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp paprika
  • 8 slices Canadian bacon
  • 8 large eggs
  • Special equipment: round cookie cutter with a diameter of 6 cm.

Preparation:

  1. Position the oven rack on the middle shelf and preheat the oven to 220°C.
  2. Buns:

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, chives, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the goat cheese and mix with your hands, breaking the cheese into pea-sized pieces. Add the cream and use a wooden spoon to knead the dough. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Roll the dough into a circle just under 1 cm thick. Using a 6 cm round cookie cutter, cut out 8 circles and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 5 cm apart. Brush the dough circles with cream and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  4. Bake the buns until golden brown, 16-18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. When the buns are cool enough, split them in half. Place 2 bottom halves on each of 4 plates.
  5. Quick Hollandaise Sauce:

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, paprika, and 1 tablespoon water. Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the Canadian bacon, a few slices at a time, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side. Place 1 slice of Canadian bacon on the bottom half of each bun, folding it in half as needed.
  6. Fill a wide saucepan with about 5 cm of water and bring to a very gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into the water, spacing them apart. Cover the pan with a lid and turn off the heat. After 2-3 minutes, the whites should be set and the yolks should remain soft.
  7. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on top of slices of Canadian bacon. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce, sprinkle with chives, and top with the top halves of the buns.
