Eggs Chezmoi Maintenant

...as in - eggs on anything you have available right now at your house.

tonight Eggs Chezmoi, was this:
poached egg atop a salmon and tuna spread atop whole wheat sourdough toast, all topped with hollandaise sauce.

poached egg, using a tip from sister, i poached the egg using a cheaty trick (never done this in any form before) (poaching an egg, that is - cheaty tricks?  all the time).  follow the link, but essentially you splash vinegar in a mug of water, create a vortex (not as godlike as it sounds) and drop egg in, stab the yolk once quickly place in microwave, top with a plate or lid and microwave for 80 seconds.  works well enough for these unrefined egg poachers.

Salmon and Tuna Spread:
in processor dump all:
2 stalks chopped green onion
small handful fresh basil
1 can salmon
1 can tuna
7 oz prepared bruschetta
bit of evoo
salt to taste

hollandaise sauce, cheaty tricky:
started with recipe from bon appetit:
using hot water heated but dried off blender add 2 yolks and 2 tbsp lemon juice
then added melted frothy 2 1/2 sticks butter
salt and pepper to taste.

well, as i copy that down i can see where i veered off track.  i only added 1 1/2 sitcks of butter, perhaps that is why it was too runny to work, so i turned to my trusty greek yogurt and added to large dollups of that to thicken it up - worked like a charm. 

here again, think of all the possibilities.  ooh, if only i'd had some smoked salmon on hand.  or any kind of coarsely ground vegetable spread.  the possibilities are endless.
