This dish originated with the New Orleans restaurant Brennan's, which is famous for its breakfast. A typical recipe for Hollandaise sauce calls for 1/2 pound butter and an additional egg yolk, but milk and cornstarch replace most of the butter in this version. Marchands de vin (wine merchant) is a red wine-based sauce.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup merlot or other dry red wine
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 (14-ounce) can low-salt beef broth
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2/3 cup 1% low-fat milk
1 large egg yolk
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
remaining ingredients
12 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato
cooking spray
12 slices canadian bacon
12 large eggs
6 english muffins, split and toasted
Directions:
1. To prepare Marchands de vin sauce, combine the first 3 ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and cook until reduced to 1 cup (about 30 minutes). Remove pan from heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter; stir until butter melts. Set aside; keep warm.
2. To prepare Hollandaise sauce, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch and mustard in a 2-cup glass measure. Gradually add milk and egg yolk, stirring with a whisk. Microwave at high 1 minute; stir well. Microwave at high an additional 30 seconds or until thick. Add lemon juice, butter, and salt; stir with a whisk.
3. To prepare remaining ingredients, preheat broiler.
4. Place tomato slices on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and broil 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add water to a large skillet, filling two-thirds full; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer. Add bacon slices, and cook 1 minute. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon. Drain bacon on paper towels, and keep warm. Break eggs into pan; cook 8 minutes. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon.
5. Place 1 slice bacon on muffin half; top with egg. Drizzle with 4 teaspoons Marchands de vin sauce and 4 teaspoons Hollandaise sauce, and top with tomato slice. Repeat procedure with remaining muffin halves, bacon, eggs, sauces, and tomato.
