Eggs Neptune With Orange Hollandaise Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 qt water
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp salt
8 fresh eggs
4 tbsp (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, soften, ed
1 1/2 cup cooked crab meat, fresh or canned
4 english muffins
1 paprika (optional)
4 thin slices orange, cut in half (op, tional)
ORANGE HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
1/2 lb (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut int, o pieces
4 egg yolks
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp grated orange zest
1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Recipe Preparation
Prepare the Hollandaise sauce, and keep it warm. Mix the water with
the vinegar (which will help the egg whites set quickly) and put it
with the salt in a wide, shallow saucepan. Bring water to boil, then
reduce heat to gentle simmer. One at a time, break each egg into a
separate small dish or bowl; then, holding the bowl very near the
surface of the water, gently slip in the egg. Add more eggs to the
pan, taking care not to crowd them.
Continue simmering until whites are firmly set and yolks are covered
with slightly opaque film, about 3 minutes. Then use a slotted spoon
carefully to remove each egg to a folded kitchen towel to drain. With
small kitchen knife, carefully trim any ragged edges from whites.
While the eggs are poaching, melt half the butter in large skillet
over moderate to low heat, and saute the crab meat until heated
through.
Split and toast the English muffins and spread their cut sides with
remaining butter. Place two muffin halves on each serving plate. Top
each half with some crab meat and then a poached egg. Spoon or pour
enough Hollandaise over each egg to cover it and spread down the side
of the muffin onto the plate. If you wish, garnish with a dusting of
paprika and half an orange slice.
Makes 4 servings.
ORANGE HOLLANDAISE SAUCE:
In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat until it's all liquid.

in and the sauce is thick. transfer sauce to small metal or glass
bowl, and set it inside a larger bowl or 1)an of hot water to keep it
warm.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tipsIn deciding on a meal plan, it is essential to also make sure you cut down your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.
Some low carb diet pointers:
* Make reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs for deep fried or oven baked foods. Although you can buy reduced carb breadcrumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using reduced carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the low carb bread in a gas or electric oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is hard, whizz it in your food mill. To store, keep in a tupperware jar or container.
* Know what is in your food Don't trust food packaging that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the back of the package. A good number of are only slightly less and in some instances still greater than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identical.
