         Title: Trailer Trash Eggs Benedict   
    Categories: Breads, Eggs, Pork, Beef   
         Yield: 2 Servings   
       
         2    English muffins; split   
         2    All-meat hot dogs; halved,   
              - halves in 3 or 4 slices   
              - lengthwise   
         1 tb Butter   
         1 tb Flour   
       3/4 c  Chicken stock; more at need   
              Vinegar; for the poaching   
              - water   
              Oil   
              Salt & ground black pepper   
         2 lg Eggs; poached   
       
     I toasted the whole wheat English muffins lurking in   
     the fridge.   
        
     Then I tackled the roux. After dropping in the last end   
     bit of butter into the pan, melting it, and putting in   
     a tablespoon of flour, I let it turn tan before slowly   
     putting in the stock. It immediately turned semi-solid.   
        
     Cooking magic!   
        
     I tried to make the hot dog as bacon-y as possible by   
     cutting them in half, then splitting them lengthwise   
     into 3-4 slices. For some extra flavor and crispness,   
     I sauteed them in some peanut oil on medium heat until   
     they got some color, then set them aside.   
        
     After adding all the stock and whisking like the   
     industrious, neurotic person I am, I let it keep warm   
     by improvising with a rimmed bowl perched over a pot   
     of simmering water, plus the occasional whisk.   
        
     Then it was onto the poached egg. This should be your   
     last step. I'd never made this successfully before.   
     Mark Bittman had me do this in a deep frying pan, which   
     seemed to make it a lot less scary and easier to get the   
     eggs out. You have to crack each egg in a shallow bowl,   
     then slowly slide them into gently boiling water. After   
     about two minutes, ladle them out in a slotted spoon.   
     (I just used a flipper/spatula thingy with two slots in   
     it. Ghetto.)   
        
     Assemble like so, bottom up: muffin slice, hot dogs,   
     egg, sauce. I shaved some extra sharp cheddar over   
     there for extra trashy flavor. Season liberally with   
     salt and pepper.
