Benedict Eggs: The Original Recipe
Ingredients
Description
This is a perfect preparation to enjoy first thing in the morning for a truly complete breakfast and to start the day with the right dose of energy. They are also the ideal solution for a Sunday brunch with friends. The origins of this recipe go back in time and one of the most accredited legends sees them born at Delmonico’s Restaurant, thanks to Mrs. LeGrand Benedict who, tired of the usual menu, asked for an unusual breakfast. It was Chef Charles Ranhofer who found such a good and innovative combination, that it was even included in his 1894 book. That successful combination was indeed the recipe for Benedict eggs.
Today we reveal the easy and quick recipe to make at home!
Procedure
Fill a pot with water, add two tablespoons of white wine vinegar and bring to a boil. In a small bowl, break the eggs carefully and once the pot's water boils, lower the heat and very gently pour the first egg into the pot, taking care to create a vortex in the water with the help of a ladle.
Wait about 3 minutes for it to cook to the right point and then extract the egg with a slotted spoon and repeat the operation for the other egg.
