Crispy Eggplant

Chipotle Hollandaise

Poached Eggs

Brunch Potatoes

Fresh Fruit

Method

Crispy Eggplant

  1. 1

    Prepare Eggplant

    Slice the eggplant into 1/2 inch rounds. Sprinkle salt on both sides and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Bread the Eggplant

    Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs (if using), and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Dredge each eggplant slice in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Eggplant

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Chipotle Hollandaise

  1. 4

    Melt Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and keep warm.

  2. 5

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice until pale and thick.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Slowly whisk in the melted butter until the sauce thickens. Stir in chipotle, salt, and pepper to taste.

Poached Eggs

  1. 7

    Boil Water

    In a large saucepan, bring water and vinegar to a gentle simmer.

  2. 8

    Poach Eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl. Gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Brunch Potatoes

  1. 9

    Prepare Potatoes

    Wash and halve the baby potatoes. In a bowl, toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  2. 10

    Roast Potatoes

    Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden and tender.

Fresh Fruit

  1. 11

    Prepare Fruit

    Wash the mixed berries and slice the kiwi. Arrange on a serving plate.
