      Title: Spring Eggs Benedict
 Categories: Pastry, Vegetables, Citrus, Sauces, Herbs
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1    Sheet puff pastry; thawed
      9 lg Eggs; + 1 yolk
      8 oz Asparagus; trimmed
      1 tb Fresh lemon juice
    1/4 tb + 1/8 tsp salt
        pn Cayenne pepper
      5 tb Unsalted butter
           Chopped parsley (opt)
           Freshly cracked pepper
           - (opt)
 
  Heat oven to 400ºF/205ºC.
  
  Roll out thawed puff pastry to 11" x 9 1/2". Using a 3"
  round cutter, remove 8 rounds. Separate 1 egg; beat white
  and reserve yolk. Transfer rounds to a parchment-lined
  baking sheet and brush with egg white. Bake at 400ºF/205ºC
  for 12 minutes or until puffed and golden.
  
  Fill a large, straight-sided skillet three-fourths full
  with water. Bring to a boil. Add asparagus and cook 1 to 2
  minutes, until crisp-tender. Remove with a slotted spoon
  and toss in 1 tsp of the lemon juice. Season with 1/8 tsp
  of the salt and set aside.
  
  In the same skillet, reduce heat until water is barely
  simmering. Crack 4 eggs into separate cups. Pour into
  water one by one. Poach eggs 3 to 4 minutes or until
  whites are set. Remove with a slotted spoon to a
  paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with 4 more eggs.
  
  Meanwhile, place 2 egg yolks (including the 1 reserved),
  remaining 2 tsp lemon juice, 1/8 tsp of the salt and the
  cayenne in a blender; process until combined. Melt butter
  in a bowl in microwave for 1 minute, covering to avoid
  splatter. Slowly stream melted butter into blender while
  running; hollandaise should thicken immediately.
  
  To serve, place 2 puff pastry rounds on a plate. Place 2
  asparagus spears and 1 poached egg on each round. Season
  eggs with remaining 1/8 tsp salt and pour a bit of
  hollandaise over each egg. Garnish with chopped parsley
  and freshly cracked pepper, if desired.
  
  Servings: 4
