Tomato Benedict

2 tablespoon Fayah Peppa Sauce
Water
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
Dash kosher salt
8 eggs
Classic Cup Cafe Hollandaise Sauce (see recipe center)
4 English muffins, split
1/4 cup purchased basil pesto
4 cups loosely packed baby spinach leaves
2 large tomatoes, thickly sliced and sprinkled with salt and ground black pepper (8 slices total)
1/2 cup bottled roasted red sweet peppers, well drained and cut into thin, bite-size strips

directions
1. For poached eggs: Lightly grease a 12-inch skillet. Half fill the skillet with water; add lemon juice and dash salt. Bring water to boiling; reduce heat to simmer (bubbles should begin to break the surface of the water). Break one of the eggs into a 1-cup measuring cup with a handle. Holding the lip of the cup as close to the water as possible, carefully slide egg into simmering water, taking care to not break the egg. Repeat with remaining eggs, allowing each egg an equal amount of space.
2. Simmer eggs, uncovered, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and place them in a large pan of warm water to keep them warm.
3. Prepare the Classic Cup Cafe Hollandaise Sauce. If you like, place the hollandaise sauce in a glass measuring cup and place the measuring cup in a pan of gently simmering water to keep warm until ready to serve.
4. Meanwhile, place English muffin halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat about 2 minutes or until toasted. Remove from oven. Evenly spread pesto over muffin halves.
5. To serve, place spinach leaves on top of each pesto-topped muffin half. Top with a tomato slice and a well-drained poached egg. Top eggs with roasted sweet pepper strips. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the hollandaise sauce over each egg. Makes 4 (or 8) servings.

BOB MARLEY THREE LITTLE BIRDS



A little inspiration

Given the scale of life in the cosmos,one human life is no more than a tiny blip. Each one of us is just a visitor to this planet, a guess who will only stay for a limited time. What greater folly could there be than to spend this short time alone, unhappy or in conflict with our companions. Far better surely to use our short time here in living a meaningful life enriched by our sense of connections with others and being of service to them.. Dalai Lama
