This can optionally be done in a double boiler on a gentle simmer with whisking instead of blending to reduce curdling. +2. **Drizzle Butter**: Slowly pour in the melted butter while blending. The sauce should thicken and become creamy. If it becomes too viscous, add a little warm water or lemon juice to thin it out. +3. **Season Sauce**: Season to taste with cayenne pepper or hot sauce. +4. **Heat Water to Simmer**: Prepare a large saucepan with at least four inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the vinegar to help the egg whites set. +5. **Poach Eggs 3-4 Minutes**: Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water. It helps to crack the eggs into a small bowl or ladle, bring the vessel to the surface of the water, and then drop the egg in that way. While cooking, take a spoon and stir the water into a little whirlpool; this can help displace the excess egg whites, giving the poached eggs a cleaner, firmer appearance. Cook for 3-4 minutes. +6. **Remove Eggs**: Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. +7. **Toast Muffins**: Halve the muffins and toast them. Optionally butter both halves. You could substitute the muffins with any kind of spongey bread. +8. **Cook Bacon**: In a skillet on medium heat, cook the Canadian bacon or ham until slightly browned. +9. **Assemble**: Place a slice of Canadian bacon on each toasted muffin half, top with a poached egg and a generous amount of hollandaise sauce. Garnish with cut chives and more cayenne pepper if desired. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/static/pix/caprese.webp b/static/pix/caprese.webp new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f5bf800 Binary files /dev/null and b/static/pix/caprese.webp differ diff --git a/static/pix/eggs-benedict.webp b/static/pix/eggs-benedict.webp new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2d409ed Binary files /dev/null and b/static/pix/eggs-benedict.webp differ
