Fried Hollandaise

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with Cholula hot sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Boil the marinated chicken breasts in a pot of water for about 20 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from water and let rest before slicing.

Boiled Ranch Eggs

  1. 3

    Boil the Eggs

    Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Peel the eggs and sprinkle with ranch seasoning.

Fried Smoked Battered Eggs & Cheddar

  1. 4

    Prepare the Battering Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with smoked paprika.

  2. 5

    Batter the Eggs

    Take each egg, coat it in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all three eggs.

  3. 6

    Fry the Battered Eggs

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered eggs and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 7

    Melt the Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the fried eggs while they are still hot, allowing it to melt slightly.

Fried Hollandaise

  1. 8

    Prepare the Hollandaise

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until frothy.

  2. 9

    Combine and Cook

    Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the yolk mixture while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt to taste.

  3. 10

    Fry Hollandaise

    Heat the hollandaise sauce in a pan for a minute or two, stirring constantly to achieve a warm, thin consistency.
