Ingredients
Method
Process (Waffles and Benedict):
- Preheat your waffle iron
- In a stand mixer, or using a handheld electric mixer, beat the eggs with the cashew butter, almond milk, bacon fat, and garlic.
- Mix the salt, baking soda and coconut flour in a small bowl, then pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Beat for 30 seconds until the batter is fully incorporated, scraping the bottom of the bowl to make sure you get all of the sticky cashew butter.
- Fold the chopped bacon and chives into the batter by hand.
- Cook your waffles according to the instructions on your waffle iron, then keep them in a warm oven until you’re ready to assemble the benedict.***Every machine is different, so watch the waffles really carefully to ensure they don’t burn. This batter will not take as long to cook as a regular waffles and will probably be done before your indicator light turns green. Once the steam stops, they are likely done. Mine takes about 30-45 seconds for each batch.***
Process (Hollandaise Sauce):
- Pour boiling water into a blender, then cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Dump out the water and dry the container thoroughly.
- Blend the egg yolks with the lemon juice, salt, and paprika.
- With the blender running on low, slowly pour in the hot melted butter.
- Blend for about 30 seconds until the sauce has thickened and the butter is well incorporated. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.***If it gets too thick, warm it over very low heat until it becomes runny again (about 10 seconds in a microwave and a minute on a low burner). Be careful not to use too high of heat or your eggs will scramble and your butter will curdle.***Layer each waffle with a slice of ham, poached egg, drizzle of hollandaise, and a few chives.
