Only an animated super spy like Sterling Archer could survive his highly indulgent lifestyle on FX’s comedy series, Archer. Sure, Archer may actually be dead after the season 7 finale, but that’s never stopped him before! And now you too can enjoy a taste of Archer’s opulent breakfast dish, if you have the time, the money, and the patience to accurately recreate the infamous Eggs Woodhouse!
Via Laughing Squid, the latest episode of YouTube chef Andrew Rea’s Binging with Babish tackles Archer‘s Eggs Woodhouse recipe; which was first published in How to Archer: The Ultimate Guide to Espionage and Style and Women and Also Cocktails Ever Written back in 2012. Since the book was credited to “Stirling Archer,” we’re not really sure who came up with the recipe, but its ingredients are so unusually expensive that Rea actually seemed to feel guilty about preparing the dish. To compensate, Rea decided to use the video as an opportunity to raise funds for Hour Children, a non-profit charity organization that works “primarily with mothers recently released from prison, and features a food pantry where members of the community can receive the help they need to provide nutritious meals for their families.”
As for the dish itself, the rich flavor took Rea by surprise as he took the first bite and found himself barely able to swallow it. In fact, Rea only managed to sample his Eggs Woodhouse a few times on camera before leaving the majority of it untouched.
Fans of Archer may also remember that celebrity chef Alton Brown made an animated guest appearance on the season 3 DVD extras as he and Archer had a bit of a disagreement while making Eggs Woodhouse. Rea used a small clip from that segment in his video, but the rest of the footage can be seen here.
