Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Begin by toasting the English muffins until golden brown.
- In a skillet, cook the Canadian bacon over medium heat until heated through.
- For the poached eggs, fill a pot with water, add vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and slide them into the simmering water one at a time, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set.
- For the hollandaise sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Assembly
- To assemble, place a slice of Canadian bacon on each half of the English muffin, top with a poached egg, and drizzle with hollandaise sauce.
Notes
Serve Eggs Benedict hot, right after preparing, and pair it with fresh fruit or a side salad. Consider adding avocado slices or sautéed spinach for extra flavor. A sprinkle of paprika or chopped chives enhances the presentation. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one day in the fridge.
