When the weather just starts to get warm, the flowers begin to bloom and Garden parties are in season! People love to get together for a great meal with their friends to plan for the summer ahead. This includes plans of garden planting from rosebushes to zucchinis and there are varying opinions of which is better to plant and when to plant them so have a garden party to discuss the best tips.
A great menu for a garden party would include raspberry muffins, eggs Benedict Begonias, Posey Poppyseed Bagels and a variety of juices. The eggs Benedict Begonias are a good balance that includes men who believe that often garden party menus are too feminine for them to enjoy. Start by collecting the following ingredients 4 egg yolks, 3 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 pinch ground white pepper, 1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon water, 1 cup butter, melted, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 8 eggs, 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar, 8 strips Canadian-style bacon, 4 English muffins, split, 2 tablespoons butter, softened.

Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that water does not touch the top pan. Bring water to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon water.
Add the melted butter to egg yolk mixture 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time while whisking yolks constantly. If hollandaise begins to get too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all butter is incorporated. Whisk in salt, then remove from heat. Place a lid on pan to keep sauce warm.
Preheat oven on broiler setting. To Poach Eggs: Fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water. Bring water to a gentle simmer, and then add vinegar. Carefully break eggs into simmering water, and allow cooking for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Yolks should still be soft in center. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon and set on a warm plate
While eggs are poaching, brown the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and toast the English muffins on a baking sheet under the broiler. Spread toasted muffins with softened butter, and top each one with a slice of bacon, followed by one poached egg. Place 2 muffins on each plate and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve immediately.
This menu is sure to kick off the best garden season to date.
