2 sticks cold water
1 dash sriracha
salt & pepper

Eggs Benedict

8 slices Canadian bacon
4 English muffins
1 tablespoon chopped chives

How to cook Bob's Eggs Benedict

Make the hollandaise first by whisking the eggs in a double boiler or a bowl over a simmering pot of water on the stove. Whisk until they become thick and add in the water and lemon juice. Continue to whisk as you slowly add the cold butter piece by piece. The sauce should thicken to a creamy consistency. If it gets too hot, just remove from heat and continue whisking.
Season with salt & pepper, sriracha, and if needed more lemon juice. Taste to adjust seasoning.
Set aside over the warm warm water-- do not boil.
Toast the english muffins and place them open faced on plates.
Place the canadian bacon in shallow pan with a little water and warm on the stove.
Poach the eggs according to Bob's Poached Egg Recipe below.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cup all purpose flour

1 cup powdered sugar
3 teaspoons egg nog

instructions:

How to cook Egg Nog Bread

Preheat oven to 350° and spray 3 mini baking tins with non-stick spray.
Mix together the egg nog, butter, sugar, eggs, rum, and vanilla in your mixer with wire whisk attachment.
Don't worry if the butter remains a bit clumpy, it will melt together when you bake it.
Combine flour, pudding mix, baking powder, salt and nutmeg and sift together.
Add slowly to the wet mixture and blend quickly, scraping down the sides a few times. Don't over mix.
Divide mixture between 3 mini baking tins and bake for about 30 minutes or until the loaves are just done and a toothpick comes out clean.
While they are baking make the Dark Rum Glaze by whisking the powdered sugar with the egg nog, rum, and nutmeg.
When the loaves come out of the oven, poke some holes in the top with a toothpick or chopstick and then drizzle with glaze.

NOTES:

Egg Nog can be frozen...so save some from the holiday season so you can make this sweet, delicious, pound cake-like bread when the holidays are over!
