Easy Eggs Benedict Fusion Style
Easy Eggs Benedict Fusion Style or rather Wordsmith Kaur’s Jugaadu Style! The DIL wanted Eggs Benedict on her birthday and naturally, I wasn’t going to disappoint her in spite of the lockdown. The real Eggs Benedict has hot buttered English muffins, bacon, and poached eggs topped with a liberal drizzle of hollandaise sauce.
Eggs Benedict is decadence overloaded and a star at a brunch table. I knew I had to try it out my way as I didn’t have most of the ingredients.
What goes in Easy Eggs Benedict Fusion Style
Actually, I had no access to English Muffins so I used a burger bun and made French toast out of it. Then, Bacon wasn’t available, so I boiled and shredded chicken and tossed it in butter. Next, I poached the eggs and finally, served it with kale leaves and cherry tomatoes from my garden. Believe it or not, I have never poached an egg before! Then I just stacked everything up with a cheese slice thrown in and sprinkled some herbs, salt and pepper.

METHOD
For the French Toast
Firstly crack an egg in a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients; milk, cream, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract and whip nicely till fluffy.
Heat a skillet and add the butter. Dunk the split burger bun in the sauce and toast until crisp and golden brown.
Toast it well and don’t fret of it sticking to the pan as it has egg. The Bun is covered in the egg-milk mixture and will stay sturdy.
Once done, remove and set aside.
For the Herbed Chicken
In the same skillet, add the butter and toss the boiled and shredded chicken. Add salt, pepper and mixed herbs. Sauté well and set aside.
For the Poached Eggs
Fill a pot with about 3 inches of water. Add the vinegar, season with salt and bring it to a simmer. Using the spatula, stir the water into a whirlpool. Gently slide an egg into the centre of the pot. The water should swirl around it, allowing the egg white to envelop the yolk.
Check the egg after 3-4 minutes. Lift the egg out of the water and feel it for firmness. If it is still wobbly then slide it back for another minute.
Let it cook until the whites are just set, but the yolks are still runny.
Once the egg is perfectly poached, remove from the water.
Let it drain on paper towels. Set it aside and repeat the procedure for the second egg.
Assembling the Eggs Benedict
Take a platter with the kale leaves and cherry tomatoes set on it. Place the French toasted burger bun. Cover it with a cheese slice.
Top it with the other half of the bun and pile the herbed chicken on it.
Finally, slide on the poached eggs. And sprinkle with garlic chives, salt and black pepper.
