Instructions
- Grease a large cup or glass dish with a flat bottom with butter. Mix all dry ingredients in the cup with a fork or spoon. Crack in eggs and mix well. Stir in cream. Combine until smooth and make sure there are no lumps.
- Microwave on high (approximately 700 watts) for 2 minutes. Check if the bread is done in the middle — if not, microwave for another 15-30 seconds.
- Let cool and remove from the cup. Slice in half.
Hollandaise sauce
- Melt butter in a saucepan or microwave oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Mix egg yolks and water in a pot and place in a water bath.
- Simmer while stirring constantly until sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove the pot from the water bath and slowly drizzle the butter into eggs while whisking constantly.
- Season with lemon, salt, pepper, and some cayenne pepper.
Poached eggs
- Add plenty of water with vinegar in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer but make sure the water is not boiling.
- Crack in eggs one at a time. First crack into a cup, then carefully pour into the water. Let simmer for 3 minutes.
- Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and plunge into cold water. Put the eggs on a plate and trim any rough edges.
Serving
- Fry mug bread halves in butter. Place a slice of bread on each plate, top each half with smoked ham, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with watercress.
Although it was over-cooked, the texture and flavor were promising. It resembled a dry cornbread (without the corn grit of course). Will definitely make mug bread again at lower time and experiment with additions (like shredded cheese).
If you have a newer and/or higher-power microwave, try the mug bread at a much lower time. It was moist and delightful - a new stand-by.
(Thanks for the Hollandaise clinic, Kristin! I have struggled with Hollandaise and will try your technique.)
Thanks 😀
Yes, you sure can! :)
