Doing some eggs benedict this morning, plus liquor. Go Astros!!

Have you ever tried putting some small avocado chunks in your bloody mary? It might sound weird but it's delicious...also a huge fan of pickled okra in that shiz.

Sounds like you're having a pretty nice morning, but no avocados OR toast!? Disappointed I say...

Go Astros!!

 

I want to drink with @Tha_Dude one day.

 

Word. Zing Zang is my go-to. Add celery salt and horseradish (Beaver Brand Extra Hot is the only horseradish to buy). Pickled okra and/or green beans, lime wedge and a couple of celery stalks.

Spicy V8 is delicious, I drink that stuff even without the booze.

 

This thread will be dominated by the Bloody Mary side of the conversation

So for the Benedict fans, I'll add: Did you know Hollandaise sauce is just Mayonnaise with Butter instead of oil? Hope that doesn't ruin it for you.

So, poached eggs and ham on toast smothered in mayonnaise. Luv it.

Betcha ppl make a version now with Avocados on the bottom, and call it Avocodo Toast with Ham and Egg.

 

Now that's something I can get behind!

 

This is the brand. Screw that Zing Zang trash.
Habanero is the only way to fly. Plus they are from Austin, so you are supporting Texas brother!

 

Is good?

 

How you like dem eggs? Fried or fertilized?

 

Crab cakes or salmon is a great substitute for the ham.

I have been known to blend avocado into my hollandaise.

Yeah, that stuff's fine. I like to doctor mine up myself with goodies & spices so the Zang works for me.

Ever made you own pepper infused vodka? Try it.

 

If you were really tha dude you would be drinking a White Russian lol

 

Double white russian with a shot of espresso (or just strong coffee) in it is a wonderful weekend breakfast drink.

 

sounds good. you ever try a wee bit of chipotle...like ppl do with mayo.

Some ppl claim you can emulsify avocado and oil/butter as a replacement for the egg yolks. I'm not so convinced. Probably just has the same thickness, but not really an emulsion as it probably will separate. But you can buy avocado oil to emulsify with the egg yolk. probably doesn't have the full avocado flavor one is looking for though.

I think I do prefer just classic sauce though, and doctor up the Benedict with alternative ingredients to ham, like your other suggestions. New Orleands (where Benedict was invented) does indeed have several different types, like Eggs Sardou, for example. I don't like messing too much with such a classic sauce, or at least if I do, I won't still call it Eggs Benedict...out of respect for whoever invented Mayo and Hollandaise.

 

Sounds tasty

 

Haven't done the chipotle, sounds good though, but I've been known to put a bit of thick chipotle or some such salsa under the egg if I'm going TexMex with it.

Avocado oil is great stuff. I use it in a few salad dressings instead of olive. High smoke point too, for sauteing & such. And no, it doesn't have a crazy strong avocado flavor.

Also good late night.

 

is it wrong to want a club sandwich for breakfast?

 

Or wrong to want Eggs Benedict and a beer for lunch.
