You Will Need:

• Serves 1 Hungry Husband
• Ingredients
• 1/2 tablespoon butter
• 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

1. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk t ogether the eggs, milk, salt and ground black pepper.

3. Using a rubber spatula, stir eggs constantly, not allowing any one part of the egg to cook on the skillet for too long. The idea is to cook the eggs low and slow, which prevents large curds of egg and results in an ultra creamy texture. This process requires patience, so give it the time it requires. It may take 10 to 12 minutes total.
4. Continue to cook the eggs until they are cooked through bust still slightly moist and glisten slightly. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

• 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

• Olive oil, for brushing
• 1 dozen large eggs
• 6 English muffins, split and toasted

Directions:

Keep the hollandaise sauce warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Heat a grill pan. Brush the steaks lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks over high heat, turning once or twice, until medium-rare, about 8 minutes. Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, bring 2 large, deep skillets of water to a simmer. Crack 6 eggs into each skillet and simmer over moderately low heat until the whites are set and the yolks are runny, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the poached eggs to a plate; blot dry with paper towels.
