BROCCOLI/ HERBED HOLLANDAISE SAUCE/ TOASTED BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
• Skim off the foam from the surface of the butter.
• Remove from the heat.
• In a food processor, pulse the bread to coarse crumbs.
• Transfer the crumbs to a small cookie sheet, toss with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Bake for about 2 minutes, until golden brown.
• On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the broccoli with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the broccoli in an even layer and roast for about 15 minutes, until just tender and starting to brown.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer.
• In a stainless steel bowl, mix the egg yolks with the boiling water.
• Set the bowl over the saucepan and whisk the yolks constantly until thickened slightly and bright yellow, about 1 minute.

• Whisk in the lemon juice and a dash of Tabasco and season the hollandaise sauce lightly with salt and pepper.
• Whisk in the mint and thyme.
• Transfer the broccoli to a platter; pour the hollandaise sauce on top.
