INGREDIENTS:

• 1 stick of butter, melted
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 whole eggs
• A tablespoons of White wine vinegar
• A splash of White vinegar
• Smoked salmon
• A tablespoon of Lemon juice (or to taste)
• 2 English muffin slices
• Water
• Salt & pepper to taste

PREPARATION:

1. Melt your butter
2. In a pan, on the lowest heat setting your stove can handle (or do the fancy double-boiler thing, but I've had better results this way), place 2 egg yolks and your white wine vinegar. Whish together
3. Slowly whisk-in the melted butter. The mixture should become thick and custardy
4. Mix-in lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Your Hollandaise sauce is now ready.
5. Get a decently sized pot almost full of water and a splash of white vinegar. Heat to a simmer.
6. Use a spoon or ladle to stir the water, forming a gentle whirlpool. Add your 2 whole eggs (out of the shell) and poach until the yolks are set.
7. Toast your English muffin
8. With the English muffin as a base, top with smoked salmon, poached egg, then finish with Hollandaise.
9. Fall in to a food coma of ecstasy

I'm getting tired of the classics: Pepperoni, bell pepper, mushroom, onion, pineapple, etc. Everybody knows them, have them all the time, yawn.

I want to buy something original and unique to put on my pizza for dinner. Make me an offer!

Banana for scale.

That's right fellow bean enthusiasts, on this day of 2026-01-06 we celebrate World Bean Day: A day to appreciate the beans in our lives! This day also corresponds to the death anniversary of geneticist Gregor Mendel, who liked beans.

Much like last Bean Day, you are required to draw beans on Bean Day. This year, however, we will change things up a bit: The image attached to this post will act as a template on to which you will add your own bean celebrating Bean Day. Other bean enthusiasts can then use your image as a template for theirs and post it as a subcomment. Let's see how many different drawing-comment chains we can get!

HAPPY BEAN DAY!
