Ingredients
- 2 small pinches Dan-O’s SPG Tri-O (Salt, Pepper, Garlic) Seasoning
- 2 large eggs - yolk and whites separated
- 1/4 cup grated cheese, such as Gruyere, Swiss, or Parmesan
- 1-2 ham steaks, trimmed to fit an English muffin
- 2 English muffins
Hollandaise sauce:
- 1/4 tsp of Dan-O’s Chipotle Seasoning
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp lemon juice, or more as desired for flavor
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Preparation Instructions
- Preheat that oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate your eggs, keeping those yolks clean and whole. Pro tip: keep each yolk in its own bowl, so you’re not playin’ egg roulette later.
- Now grab a clean mixing bowl—like really clean, no grease—and toss in your egg whites. Add a small pinch of Dan-O’s SPG Tri-O for each one and whip ‘em up. Start slow, then crank it up until you’ve got stiff peaks—we’re talkin’ cloud status.
- Gently fold in your grated cheese, nice and easy—don’t knock the air out of those fluffy whites!
- Scoop that mixture onto your baking sheet into two mounds. Shape ‘em into little nests with a dip in the middle for that yolk to sit pretty.
- Bake for 3 minutes, then pull ‘em out, drop a yolk right into each nest, and send ‘em back in for another 3 minutes.
- While that’s goin’, heat up your ham steaks and toast those English muffins till golden.
- Now let’s make that next-level hollandaise. Melt your butter, then toss egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, and Dan-O’s Chipotle Seasoning into a blender. Blend for a few seconds, then slowly stream in that hot butter while blending until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Time to stack it up: Toasted English muffin → ham → cloud egg → drizzle that hollandaise → sprinkle of Dan-O’s SPG Tri-O.
