Cheat of the Week

All was quiet across the alley this weekend so it was cheat mode Sunday morning. 
Christian Potier’s Sauce Hollandaise.  Available at fine foods stores.

Sauce in a pouch, but microwavable too. There are three 50ml pouches and each serves two very nicely or if you’re like me, keep the lot for yourself.




This is nice light texture and colour.  None of the dreadful egg yolk look you get in a road side diner.  Ten seconds in the microwave or simmer pouch for five minutes.  Gone are the days of whisking and sieving.  Well, not quite;  I’ll still go scratch for a main dish like Benedict or whenever time permits.  But this is a rather nice treat for a quick Brunch when the house is cold you really don’t want to stand at the stove endlessly whisking. This is about efficiency in the AM.
Two slices of lightly toasted rye.  Two eggs, scrambled.  Contents of one pouch. Add a pot of Darjeeling and you are all set.
