Recipe: Classic Eggs Benedict
Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 slices of Canadian bacon
  • 2 English muffins
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp of white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Poach the eggs

Fill a large, shallow pan with water and bring to a simmer. Add white vinegar. Crack one egg into a small bowl. Swirl the water with a spoon and carefully slide the egg into the center. Let it cook for about 3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain excess water. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

Toast the English muffins and Canadian bacon

Split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown. Place the Canadian bacon in a non-stick skillet and cook over medium heat until browned and crispy on the edges.

Make the hollandaise sauce

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. In a blender, combine the egg yolks and lemon juice. Blend on high speed for a few seconds, then slowly pour in the melted butter while blending continuously. Season with salt and pepper and blend until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Eggs Benedict

Place the toasted English muffin halves on a plate. Top each half with a slice of Canadian bacon, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the eggs and garnish with chopped parsley.
