Poached Eggs

There is a cold/plague going around my office and last night I could feel my body fighting it off. When I get sick I get emotional and get pretty strong cravings. Last night all I wanted was breakfast for dinner, especially eggs benedict so I had a go at it.

I made a homemade Hollendaise Sauce:
1/4 cup of butter
1 cup milk
6 oz cream cheese
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. lemon juice

For Poached Eggs:
Bring water to a simmer (little bubbles on the bottom) and add 1 tbsp of vinegar.
Break eggs into individual bowls or cups for easy pouring into the simmering water.
Using a wooden spoon GENTLY nudge eggs to prevent sticking.
Soft poached Eggs take about 3 minutes.

Canadian Bacon:
I used Hormel as they are my gluten free go to brand. There is no reading labels and guessing,  everything is clearly labeled. I just quickly heated both sides in a pan on medium heat.

English Muffin:
For this I used Food for Life. I found them to be heavy and doughy compared to the light and fluffy gluten filled ones I was used to my whole life. They tasted fine for the meal however they were loaded so I can't really judge on their taste.

Asparagus:
Break them into the size pieces you need and steam them.

Then just plate it all together and enjoy!
