Despite its many reputations, the process of cooking eggs Benedict is not complicated.

The slightly more difficult part is nothing more than the process of making poached eggs and making hollandaise sauce, and the rest of the steps are actually like building blocks, stacking various ingredients on top of each other to complete a pleasing plating.

The so-called Poached Egg is actually a special poached egg, but the surface will be smoother than the common Chinese poached egg, and the spherical egg white will wrap the semi-liquid yolk in the middle - usually, in many high-end hotels, most of the breakfast eggs are poached eggs instead of fried eggs.

After all, omelette must be oiled, and from a health point of view, french fries and fried bacon already have a fairly high amount of oil, and if they are paired with an omelette, they are not a particularly good choice.

The poached egg is different, you only need to put it on the bread slices, sprinkle a little salt and black pepper according to your personal taste, cut it with a knife, and the egg yolk that flows out is the most natural and delicious sauce, watching the golden egg yolk slowly soak the toasted bread like melted butter, the sense of ritual and happiness is far from being brought by a soulless omelette.

"Add a teaspoon of salt to the hot water, and a small amount of white wine vinegar, note that the hot water is not boiling. ”

Elena stood in front of the workbench and swept around the elves around her.

"While the water is hot, we beat the fresh eggs into a strainer to filter out the excess water – these watery eggs tend to form flocculent eggs when put into hot water, which can ruin the shape of the eggs. ”

"Before the water in the pot is about to boil, turn to low heat, then quickly stir the hot water to form a whirlpool, bring the egg bowl close to the liquid level, let the egg slide into the center of the whirlpool, and the water must be deep enough not to let the egg touch the bottom of the pot...... Wait until the protein has solidified, and you can scoop it up. ”

While speaking, Elena's own demonstration work was fished out, and the flat appearance of the poached egg, the exposed yolk and the flocculent egg white were completely unchanged, and most of the successful water-poached eggs were plump oval spherical, 360 degrees were wrapped in firm and tender egg whites, and the taste was also rich in layers of outer tender and inner liquid.

"Do you see?"

The dumb hair on the top of Elena's head curled, and she flicked twice quickly, looked at the house-elves around her who nodded in response, nodded with satisfaction, and clapped her hands lightly, with a solemn look on her face.

"If there's no problem, let's get started. The tentative goal is 800 eggs Benedict, and I don't want to have a shortage of portions or defective products...... By the way, in addition, according to the usual situation, prepare 200 boiled eggs and 200 over-well fried eggs. (Note 1, see at end of chapter)

After a slight pause, Elena thought for a moment and finally added.

After all, even if this is in the UK, it is not excluded that a small number of teachers and students may not be used to eating pure liquid egg yolks, and as a good chef, it would be too selfish and a failure to ignore the feelings of a few diners just for the sake of coolness.

Looking around the busy and orderly Hogwarts kitchen, Elena nodded in satisfaction.

There is no doubt that the house-elves at Hogwarts are quite trustworthy.

At the end of the day, it's just a basic Western-style meal, and for these little ones who spend most of their time in the kitchen, as long as they understand the method, there will be no mistakes or slackness at all - not to mention, they can also use magic to assist.

Elena glanced at the elves on her right who were manipulating four or five pots suspended in the air at the same time, and the corners of her mouth twitched without leaving a trace. She just casually said the principle, these house-elves really made a perfect spherical water-wave egg, which is really enviable......

After a few more moments, Elena looked up at the pendulum clock hanging at the entrance to the kitchen.

"Huh, before you know it's almost half past seven......

If you calculate the time, Hannah's little Lori should almost wake up.

If you wake up and don't see her, that simple little iron girl doesn't know what she will be in a hurry.

"Burleigh, it's almost time, I'm ready to leave. ”

Without further hesitation, Elena beckoned to Burleigh, a house-elf not far away, "My friends are still waiting for me in the lounge, and the rest of the kitchen is up to you—you've tasted everything I've made, so if you're not sure, trust your own memories and feelings." Don't add sugar to the custard!"

Adding sugar to the steamed egg custard is like adding sugar to the tofu brain, Elena who was a northerner in her previous life said, that thing can actually be eaten? What the hell, isn't this a waste of food?

After a final reminder, Elena raised her head and took a deep breath of the aroma that filled the kitchen air, and walked out of the Hogwarts kitchen in a cheerful mood, the respectful and excited voice of Burleigh coming from behind her.

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed, Chef!"

Accompanied by Burleigh's voice, a series of respectful farewells rang out in the kitchen, and Elena didn't have to look back to imagine the scene of all the elves bowing slightly to her behind her.

The corners of Elena's mouth curled smugly—from now on, this was her kitchen.

......

A few minutes later.

Hufflepuff common room.

"Elena, where the hell have you been?!"

Hannah Abbott, with messy hair, stood at the door of the dormitory with her hands on her hips, her cute little face bulging angrily, and people couldn't help but want to reach out and poke it......

Well, then, a certain white-haired dumpling reached out decisively according to his heart.

Poke~

"Alright, don't be angry. I just woke up early and walked around the neighborhood. ”

Facing the angry Hannah Lori, Elena completely lost the momentum she had in the Hogwarts kitchen a few minutes ago, and explained with a flattering look as she hugged Hannah in her badger-patterned pajamas with a hippie smile.

"Wander around?!Don't you have a clear idea of how dangerous it is to be alone? Didn't you promise yesterday that you would never act on your own!"

However, it was clear that the little iron girl who had been worried about Elena for a while was not so easy to coax, and the girl's light brown eyes were full of reproach and anger, as if she were an angry little animal.

"This is the Hufflepuff common room, if you accidentally walk into those passages leading to the greenhouse below......"

"Okay, okay, I know it's wrong. I just went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone. ”

"Isn't that prepared by the house-elves? Hannah raised an eyebrow, looking incredulous.

"It's different, you'll find out later. ”

The little hair on Elena's head rubbed Hannah's cheek flatteringly, and said proudly, "Believe me, this will be the most delicious and gorgeous breakfast you, and even the whole Hogwarts have ever had in this castle." ”

And that's just the beginning...... A hint of nostalgia flashed in Elena Lake's blue eyes, and the Chinese cuisine, which is at the top of the cuisine and is known as the miracle of the flame, has not yet appeared.

Note 1: A little bit about the fried egg

Fried Egg

If your reaction is, I know this, don't you just omelette eggs? Then you only get half of the answer right, because when you order an omelette, the waiter will often ask you a question: what "egg style" do you want? Or give you a bunch of style choices, and the following fat chicken will give you a little science popularization.

【Over easy/over light】: Fried on both sides, the egg yolk is still liquid, but the egg white is solid.

[over easy]: Sometimes it is also called dippy eggs or dip eggs, mainly depending on which state in the United States to eat. Sometimes, people eat these eggs as sandwiches in slices of bread.

[Over medium]: It's also fried on both sides, but it's not the same as the above, that is, not only the egg white is thoroughly cooked, but the egg yolk is also cooked through, but the egg core is still liquid (near liquid at the center).

[Over hard]: This one sounds like the egg white and yolk are fully cooked inside and out, but it is not a complete finished product, but the egg yolk is broken. If the yolk is not broken, then it is called "Over Well"
