Eggs Benedict on Bagels


Poaching the perfect egg is a difficult thing to achieve especially if you are as fussy as me.  They say it is absolutely essential to use really fresh eggs as that's what holds the whites together.  However, getting your hands on one is very difficult if you don't own a restaurant.  Often you buy eggs that have been sitting out on a self for days so you really just don't know.  Anyway, home-made hollandaise sauce and perfect poached eggs is a very good start to the day.
If you are cooking lots of poached eggs, you can poached them for 1.5 to 2 mins then sit them in a bowl of iced water and when ready to use, reheat for about 20 seconds eggs no longer and serve.
