Prosciutto Eggs Benedicto!

Good Morning, rise and shine from that hang over!! Ok, well if you have a hang over you probably don't want to be cooking this... but it will definitely make you feel better! Especially if you pair this with a spicy bloody mary!

So, one of my favorite hearty breakfasts is eggs Benedict. But who wants Canadian bacon when you have prosciutto??? I had some left over prosciutto from the last meal I made and you know how expensive it is, can't throw it away!

Ingredients: Breakfast for 2

• 4 poached eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 Hefty tablespoon of melted butter
• 2 whole wheat English muffins
• 4 slices of prosciutto di parma (substitute: organic smoked salmon)
• Salt
• Cayenne pepper
• Cracked black pepper

Poach 4 eggs. This isn't a cooking class so I won't go into how you poach an egg -- you can google this or click on this youtube link.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtZ14xEbgzg   :)

Hollandaise Sauce:
Separate the yolk from the whites of 2 eggs in a bowl. Whisk the yolks until mixture lightens in color and add in 1 tbs of fresh lemon juice. In a small pan on low heat, lowest possible setting, melt the butter. Add in the yolk/lemon juice mixture and continue whisking quickly so the eggs don't cook. Add in a pinch of salt and cayenne pepper and continue whisking until the sauce is frothy and thick. Turn off heat and serve right away or set aside on warm stove.

Slice the English muffins and toast. Layer on 1 slice of prosciutto on each half. Carefully place a poached egg on top of the prosciutto. Top off with the hollandaise sauce and cracked black pepper.

Enjoy!
