EGGS HUSSARDE

Steps:

• To prepare the Marchand du Vin Sauce: Heat the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until the onions are slightly softened. Add the ham, mushrooms, and green onions. Saute for about 2 minutes. Stir in the bay laves, black pepper, salt, paprika, thyme, and tomato paste. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for about 4 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Add the Worcestershire sauce, beef stock, wine, and parsley. Mix thoroughly and simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce is reduced, very thick, and a rich brown color, about 1 hour. Keep warm. To prepare the Hollandaise Sauce: Put the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Beat the mixture with a whisk until the eggs begin to thicken. Remove from the hat and slowly whisk in the melted butter, whisking constantly until the sauce reaches a thick consistency. Adjust seasonings. Keep warm over tepid water or in an insulated container. To poach the eggs: Bring the water and vinegar to a boil in a large saute pan. Adjust the heat to keep the water at a simmer. Crack the eggs into the water. Cook until the whites are firm, about 2 minutes. Lift the poached eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon. Place the eggs on a triple thickness of paper towels until ready to use. To assemble and serve: Place a rusk or slice of toast on each warmed plate. Top each with a slice of bacon or ham. Ladle about 1/3 cup Marchand du Vin sauce over the meat. Carefully slip two poached eggs side by side on the sauce, then top with about 1/2 cup Hollandaise Sauce. Garnish with grilled tomato slices.
