INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation: Make 4 oz. sausage patties the same diameter as your bagels. Dust both sides of the patties with the coffee so that there is an even thin layer on all. Season with a touch of salt and pepper. In an oiled nonstick pan on medium-low flame cook the sausage patties. Cook them slowly to 165 ^F. Toast the Bagels to preferred doneness. Blanch Asparagus just until the color sets. Then saute in butter until al dente. Season to taste In a nonstick pan with a medium-high flame and a quarter inch of butter. Cook the eggs. Don't flip, let the butter come over the edge of the white to cook the white and give the edges a nice crispness.
For the Hollandaise: In a small saucepan combine the lemon juice, white wine, and poblano puree. Reduce until thick and fairly dry. In a stainless steel mixing bowl vigorously whisk egg yolks until it doubles in volume. Over a double boiler cook the egg yolks, while constantly whisking. Be careful not to cook them too hot as they will scramble. Once they are frothy and thick they are done. Slowly drizzle the clarified butter into the egg yolks while whisking rapidly. Add Poblano reduction and season to taste. Poblano reduction needs to be below 140^F as well
For Plating -Build the Oscar: Bottom-up Bagel, Sausage Patty, Sunny Up Egg, lean Asparagus on the tower and ladle the poblano Hollandaise over top. Garnish the plate with slices of Avocado and Tomato as well as fresh berries.\n\nTips\nYou can use the steaming water for the hollandaise to blanch your asparagus. If your stovetop heat is inconsistent try searing the sausage patties and finishing them in the oven to prevent charring the coffee rub too much. I like toasting my bagel in the same pan as I am going to cook the eggs, and with lots of butter!
