1. egg benedict.
Method 1. Cook the bacon: until the bacon is browned on both sides. 2. Bring poaching water to a simmer: Bring a large saucepan with water to a boil, then add 2 teaspoon of vinegar. Bring the water to a boil again, then lower the heat to a bare simmer. 3. To make hollandaise sauce, melt 10 Tbsp unsalted butter. Put 3 egg yolks, a tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender, blend on medium to medium high speed for 20-30 seconds, until eggs lighten in color. Turn blender down to lowest setting, slowly dribble in the hot melted butter, while continuing to blend. Taste for salt and acidity and add more salt or lemon juice to taste.

Method 4. Poach the eggs: crack an egg into a small bowl and slip it into the barely simmering water. 5. Toast the English muffins: As soon as all the eggs are in the poaching water, begin toasting your English muffins. 6. Assemble your Eggs Benedict: To assemble, butter one side of an English muffin. Top with two slices of bacon or 1 slice of Canadian bacon. You can trim the bacon to fit the muffin if you’d like. Put a poached egg on top of the bacon, then pour some hollandaise over. Sprinkle some parsley over it all and serve at once.

2. baked potato
Method 1. Heat and Wash: Heat oven to 350 degrees and position racks in top and bottom thirds. Wash potatoes thoroughly with a stiff brush and cold running water. 2. Poke the potatoes: Using a standard fork poke 8 to 12 deep holes all over the spud so that moisture can escape during cooking. 3. Coat lightly with oil: Sprinkle with salt and place potato directly on rack in middle of oven. Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drippings. 4. Bake 1 hour: or until skin feels crisp but flesh beneath feels soft. Serve by creating a dotted line from end to end with your fork, then crack the spud open by squeezing the ends towards one another. It will pop right open. But watch out, there will be some steam. Add sour cream as toppings if using.
