Artichoke Benedict

Artichoke Benedict

Hands down, the most elegant breakfast I can think of…

To serve four people…

Ingredient list:

4 artichokes
8 eggs
2 T white vinegar

for the hollandaise:

3 egg yolks
1 1/2 sticks butter, cut into cubes
1 1/2 t fresh lemon juice
1/2 t salt
few grinds of pepper from the mill

Rinse the artichokes thoroughly

trim the stems from the bottom

trim the long spikes from the top

cook until tender – I use a pressure cooker for 15 minutes in two cups of water or you can steam them in a covered pan in water for 30 or 35 minutes until tender

For the Hollandaise:

Put the egg yolks and lemon juice in a heavy bottom pan, start on low heat and increase slightly if necessary, whisk for a few minutes and then continually while you add the butter one cube at at a time letting each cube melt before adding the next – keeping the heat low will ensure the eggs emulsify instead of just scrambling.

For the eggs:

Fill a pan with water to within a few edges of the top, add white vinegar and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer, break the eggs into a small bowl one at a time and then add to the water carefully. Turn off the heat and cover the pan for five minutes.

assemble the Benedicts by opening up the artichoke and digging out the choke, putting two poached eggs in the center and covering with hollandaise, salt and pepper to taste

    Oh, my mother would have been in heaven. She loved eggs Benedict and we’ve been eating artichokes since I was a little kid. What a fabulous combo! I so wish she was still with us so I could make it for her! But when the kids are home, I’ll make it for them and we’ll remember her.

    I love eggs benedict anytime, but this looks divine … & a little healthier than the potato rosti I usually have my eggs on top of!!

    Beautiful photography too 🙂

    Sounds good to this artichoke lover. I just wish that I could find decent artichokes here. I thought when Fresh Market opened I’d find them there, but they’re more expensive and no better than the regular grocery stores. Ever since Albertson’s pulled out of Houston I haven’t been able to find good ones.

    It has been so long since I have had an artichoke. Sadly my tiny town hasn’t heard of them. Sure looks yummy.

    By the way, that is the coolest looking whisk I have ever seen!

    Also looked at your post below about your coast trip in CA. The path with the trees to one side looks very painterly- the 101 us so relaxing to drive, isn’t it? Hope I can go there soon!

    I always wish the Americana Hen’s eggs would be the same color inside as the shell. LOL I am definitely going to make that breakfast. Maybe for some of my Thanksgiving guests. Thank you.

    I tried this with canned artichoke bottoms and it was great. One artichoke was 3.99 fresh…….Happy Holidays.

    Artichoke is one of my childhood comfort foods, but this is a wonderfully unique way to make it breakfast. Looks so good!
