Name: Microwave Poached Eggs and Hollandaise with Spring Time Potato Salad
Total Time – 30 minutes (Makes 4 servings)
APRONS ADVICE
Complete your meal with sliced ham, biscuits or English muffins, orange juice, and fresh cut fruit.
It is important to slowly pour the hot butter into the eggs when making the Hollandaise. This will warm up the eggs slowly (tempering) and keep them from scrambling.
