    Eggs Royale with Homemade Hollandaise

    Eggs Royale with homemade Hollandaise recipe
    By Barry Horne
    (serves 2-4)
    Ingredients:
    4 English Muffins or Crumpets
    4 Eggs (as fresh as possible)
    10ml White Wine Vinegar
    200g Smoked Salmon (or use Ham instead for Eggs Benedict)
    Hollandaise:
    2 Egg Yolks
    80ml Vinegar (White Wine or Cider)
    50ml Water
    1/2 Shallot (finely diced)
    4 Black Peppercorns
    1 Bay Leaf
    200g Unsalted Butter (clarified)
    Lemon Juice to taste
    Salt & Cayenne Pepper
    Method:
    To clarify the butter, place it in a saucepan on a medium heat. The butter will separate and the solids will go to the bottom and the clarified butter will be on top. Pour into a jug, leaving the fat solids at the bottom of the pan. Keep the clarified butter in a warm place.
    Start your hollandaise reduction by placing the shallot, peppercorns, bay leaf, vinegar and water in a pot. Bring to the boil and reduce by half. Strain and keep to one side.
    Fill a medium pot with water and put on a high heat, add the white wine vinegar (this helps the white of the egg coagulate). When the water's at boiling point, turn the heat down a little, you don't need a vigorous boil when doing poached eggs. Give the water a gentle whisk to get it moving in a circular motion, this will give your eggs the proper tear drop shape.
    Add the eggs two or three at a time and cook for 2-3 minutes depending on the size of the egg (2 mins for medium and 3 for large).
    Tip: once cooked, you can put them straight into iced water until it's time to serve. Just pop back into boiling water for 30 seconds.
    To finish the hollandaise sauce, take a bowl over a Bain Marie and add the egg yolks and a teaspoon of the reduction, start whisking over a low heat to cook your eggs to 'sabayon' stage, which means it should have doubled in size and you can form a loose figure of 8. Take off the heat and slowly start to incorporate the clarified butter, when the sauce has become thick, season with salt, cayenne pepper and lemon juice.
    Toast the muffins and place the salmon (or ham) first, then the eggs and cover with hollandaise.

    Once cooked, strain the stock and throw away the vegetables and carcass.
    Put the strained stock back into a saucepan and place on a high heat and reduce by a third to concentrate the flavour.
    Once it has reduced, then you can start to season with salt and pepper. Don't do this too early as the broth can become too salty.

    Christmas Gammon and Three Glazes

    Provenance Christmas Gammon
    Gammon with Honey Mustard Glaze
    By Barry Horne
    Ingredients
    1 Gammon (5kg)
    2 Onions
    2 Celery Sticks
    2 Carrots
    500ml Honey
    250g Dijon Mustard
    250g Wholegrain Mustard
    300g Brown Sugar
    Method
    Place the gammon in a large pot and cover with water, bring to the boil and, as soon a it reaches boiling point, empty out the water. This will get rid of any excess salt.
    Cover the gammon again with fresh water and add the onion, celery and carrot to the pot. Bring to the boil and lower to a simmer, cook for 40 mins per kilogram. Once cooked, take out the gammon to cool. 
    Tip: keep the cooking liquid and use as the base of a good pea and ham soup or just cook your Christmas green vegetables in the same water, as it has plenty of flavour in it.
    When the gammon is cool enough to touch, remove the skin, it should come away easily, and score the flesh lightly. 
    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
    To make the glaze, combine the honey, both mustards and sugar together in a bowl and cover the gammon with it.
    Tip: it is better to do this when the gammon has cooled to stop the glaze running off it.

    Place the glazed ham in the oven and roast for 30-40 minutes, baste every 10 minutes to ensure it’s nicely glazed and coloured.
