      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.
