Eggs Benedict Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 recipe Hollandaise Sauce
  • 2 English muffins (halved)
  • 4 tsp unsalted butter (to toast muffins)
  • 4 slices Canadian bacon (thin shaved ham, or crispy bacon)
  • 4 large eggs (for poached eggs)
  • 1 Tbsp white vinegar for poaching eggs
  • cayenne pepper (to garnish)
  • chives or dill (to garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Hollandaise Sauce: combine hollandaise sauce in a small saucepan and cook according to our hollandaise recipe instructions. Cover with lid to keep warm. If it gets too thick, add a teaspoon of hot water at a time to thin it out.
  2. Prep for Poached Eggs: Place a pot of water with 1 Tbsp vinegar on the stove for making poached eggs and bring it just to a simmer.
  3. Sauté meat: In a large skillet, sauté your meat until hot and golden then transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  4. Toast English muffins: Melt 2 tsp butter on the same skillet and add English muffins cut-side down and toast until golden brown. Remove the skillet from the heat, leaving the muffins in the skillet to keep warm.
  5. Poach Eggs: Once water is barely simmering, poach 4 eggs according to our easy poached eggs recipe.
  6. Assemble: Place English muffin halves on serving plates cut-side up. Top with your desired meat. Place the egg over the meat. Pour the hollandaise sauce over the eggs, dividing the hollandaise recipe between the 4 eggs. Sprinkle the top with cayenne pepper and garnish with chives. Serve immediately.
