Serves 3
Ingredients
- 3 Sourdough English Muffins Cut in ½
- 6 Eggs
- 16 oz Fresh Cold Water Lobster Tails, (Uncooked)
- 2 oz Fresh Basil
- 2 Cloves Garlic Minced
- 3 T Buter
- ½ t Kosher Salt
- Chopped Chives for Garnish
Saffron Hollandaise
- 3 Egg Yolks
- 12 T Butter (1 ½ Sticks) Chilled
- ½ t Kosher Salt
- 2 T Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1 t Saffron
- 1 T Boiling Water
To start bring a sauté pan ¾ full of water to a light simmer, this will be for poaching eggs.
In a small bowl place 1t saffron and 1 T boiling water and set aside
Deshell lobster meat by cutting shells in half and removing the meat, then butterfly the lobster tails and cut in to 2-3 segments so it will easily lay flat on the muffin
*For hollandaise, melt 12 T butter in small sauce pan on low heat
In a small sauté pan melt 3 T butter with minced garlic and ½ t salt, simmer 2-3 minutes, then add lobster meat simmer 1 minuet then remove from heat
While the butter is melting toast the English muffins to light golden brown, lay open face on plates and place 2-3 fresh basil leaves on each muffin
Begin preparation for the Hollandaise (directions below)
Once hollandaise is completed place 1 ½ – 2 oz lobster meat on each English muffi
Turn down simmering water to lowest possible heat setting, for the ideal poached egg it is best to have water just before the simmering point.
Carefully crack eggs into hot water to poach for about 1 minute, then with a slotted spoon gently lift out the eggs, drain excess water over pan, then place on top of the lobster
Drizzle saffron hollandaise over each English muffin, garnish with fresh chive and serve immediately
