We are putting an Eastern Shore twist on the classic Eggs Benedict in the DelmarvaLife Kitchen with the help of Steve Potts, owner of Bill’s Prime Seafood and Steaks in Chincoteague. He also shows us how to make Pepper Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna on Cinnamon Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
Eastern Shore Eggs Benedict
4 whole eggs
4 pieces of cornbread, warmed
4 slices Virginia ham, warmed in a skillet
Dash of paprika
Hollandaise Sauce
Ingredients
3 egg yolks
Juice of 2 whole lemons
2 sticks butter, melted and slightly cooled
Dash of salt
Directions
- Add the egg yolks to a blender or a food processor. Add in the lemon juice and blend for several seconds. With the blender on, slowly drizzle in the melted butter. Turn off the blender and add in a little salt. Whip it again until combined. Set this aside for a minute. Next, poach an egg by gently cracking an egg into simmering, slightly bubbling water. Leave the egg alone for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, and then remove it with a slotted spoon and carefully place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs. To serve, place cornbread on a plate. Top the cornbread with a warm slice of Virginia ham. Place the warm poached egg on top. And then drizzle on some warm hollandaise. Sprinkle a little paprika or top.
Cornbread Recipe
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus butter for baking dish
1 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, buttermilk, and butter. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and fold together until there are no dry spots (the batter will still be lumpy). Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and tester inserted into the middle of the corn bread comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
