Croissant waffle with a poached egg.

4 people

Ingredients you’ll need.
For the croissant waffles
4 canned croissants
4 slices of cheese and/or ham

For the poached eggs
4 eggs
1 splash of vinegar

For the Hollandaise sauce
310gr butter
4 egg yolks
30ml white wine vinegar
50ml white wine
Pinch of salt
Pinch of white pepper

For the garnish
4gr salad pea

Material: Waffle iron

This is how you make it!

  1. Start by making the Hollandaise sauce: Melt the butter in a small pan. Make sure it doesn’t go too fast, you want it to melt slowly.
  2. Meanwhile, put on a pan with boiling water.
  3. Put the egg yolk with the white wine vinegar and wine in a bowl. Float the bowl in the pan of hot water and whisk the egg yolks in the bowl. Slowly add the melted butter to the lightly beaten egg yolks. Add the salt and pepper. When the Hollandaise sauce is ready, set it aside.
  4. Turn on the waffle iron.
  5. Remove the croissant dough from the tin, roll it out on a board and cut the croissants loose. Place a slice of cheese and/or ham on each triangle and roll into a croissant. Place the croissant on the waffle iron and close it. Wait until the croissant is nicely browned.
  6. Meanwhile, poach the eggs: Choose a high pan to poach the eggs. The higher the pan, the easier you get results. Fill the pan with water and add the vinegar. Break each egg into a separate coffee cup. Always keep the yolk whole. Lower the heat and keep the water just below boiling point.
  7. Stir the water with a spoon or whisk until a vortex is formed. Pour 1 egg gently into the middle of the vortex and leave the egg in your pan for about 1.5 to 2 minutes. Check that the egg is not too soft.
  8. Remove the egg from the pan with a slotted spoon. Poach the eggs one by one.
  9. Place a waffle on a plate and carefully place the poached egg on top. Spoon a tablespoon of Hollandaise sauce over it. Garnish with a little salad pea.
