Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict...and some very big news!




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Big News at Wives with Knives


For many reasons I have decided to move Wives with Knives
to a new home.  I know I have a big challenge ahead and the learning curve will probably 
be painful, but it is the right thing to do and I'm ready to take it on.
I hope you will follow me to my new site and re-subscribe to get new feed updates, 
update links, and re-follow using Google Friend Connect.
Your friendship means so much and I would be very sad to lose you in the shuffle.
The move will take place in the next week or two so stayed tuned for specifics.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict really doesn't need a recipe.  It's a combination of simple ingredients that go together quickly and the result is delicious.  I had a nice piece of cooked corn beef in the freezer (deli corned beef works too) which I cut into medium sized pieces.  In a skillet I browned chopped onion, cooked cubed potato and a diced yellow bell pepper in olive oil until they started to brown, then added the corned beef and heated until everything was hot. Season with salt, pepper and chopped parsley.

Toast an English muffin and top with a generous serving of hash.  Add a poached egg (you will find excellent directions on how to make perfect poached eggs here) and top with hollandaise sauce, the real thing, or a quick. easy version of hollandaise sauce if you are in a hurry. A zesty horseradish cream sauce is delicious with the corned beef if you are in the mood for a little zip in your breakfast. For this I start with a basic bechamel sauce  and add a spoonful or two of creamed horseradish to taste to the thickened sauce.  This dish is so simple to put together and the few minutes it takes to prepare a creamy flavorful sauce are well worth the effort.

Surprise Dad on Father's Day with something delicious from the kitchen. This version of Eggs Benedict would get his special day off to a grand start.

    I'd like to as well, Cathy, but not sure it's worth the bother. Let me know will you? I'll be watching. (I even have a dot com address ready to go!)
    I used to make corned beef hash for my hubby for years, always with an egg on top. But I never tried it with an English muffin AND hollandaise. Delish!
