1 1/2 cups Mashed Potatoes left-over and reheated
4 slices bacon cooked and diced
6 eggs poached
1 1/2 cups Hollandaise Sauce or Cheese Sauce
Chopped Chives, paprika or chile powder for garnish

Instructions

In a fry pan, fry bacon until just crispy, crumble and keep warm.
Prepare Hollandaise or Cheese Sauce. Set aside and keep warm.
In a medium sauce pan, heat water and poach eggs. Cook about 5-6 minutes.
In the meantime, re-heat mashed potatoes and keep warm.
To build, using 6 small ramekins: Place about 1/4 cup mashed potatoes in each ramekin. Divide crumbled bacon evenly over the mashed potatoes. Add a poached egg to each ramekin cup. Then drizzle on 1/4 cup of your sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe will also work for left over baked potatoes. Just smash the baked potato with fork, and then reheat in the microwave.

How To Poach Several Eggs At Once:

How do you poach several eggs at the same time? Use a hotel pan. What is a hotel pan? They're used routinely in the restaurant trade and by catering companies. They're also referred to steam pans, and used to keep foods warm. They're what you see in buffet lines with heat canisters underneath. You can also use a cake pan. Just add a few inches of water to the hotel pan, or cake pan. Place it on your stove top burner and let the water come to "almost boiling" stage. Carefully crack the eggs into the steaming water and let steep for 3 - 4 minutes. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon.

This recipe isn't limited to Hollandaise Sauce. Have some fun. You can also make a quick cheese sauce.

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour.
1 cup milk.
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese of your choice.

Melt butter in a sauce pan, add flour and stir, cook 1 minute. Add 1 cup milk and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese. Stir and cook over medium heat until melted and thickened. Done!
