Easy Eggs Benedict Recipe
Description
This recipe leverages baking for multiple components. Canadian bacon is baked on a wire rack until browned, while eggs are cracked into a muffin tin filled with water and baked until just set but yolks remain soft. English muffins are buttered and toasted alongside the eggs and bacon. A hollandaise sauce is prepared separately using a blender to streamline the emulsification process.
The assembled dish layers an English muffin half, a slice of bacon, and a gently baked egg, all topped with the creamy hollandaise. This results in a combination of textures: crisp muffins, tender meat, soft eggs, and a velvety sauce with a gentle tang.
Serving immediately preserves the contrasts in temperature and texture. This method offers a simplified approach to a classic brunch dish with approachable steps for home cooks.
Ingredients
- 3 English Muffin cut in half
- 6 lices Canadian bacon or cooked bacon or ham slices
- 6 large egg
- Hollandaise sauce easy blender style
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º F. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place bacon on a fully rimmed baking sheet (edges on all four sides) that has been topped with a wire cooling rack. Bake until the meat has browned, about 15-20 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water to each cup of the muffin pan. Crack an egg into each individual indention, taking care not to break the yolk of the egg. Place in the oven along with the bacon the last 9-10 minutes of cooking.
- Place English muffins on another baking sheet. Spread with butter and place in oven at the same time as adding eggs.
- As your bacon, eggs, and muffins are baking, prepare your hollandaise sauce. Pour into a serving container.
- To assemble Eggs Benedict, place English Muffins on each plate, top with one slice of bacon. Using a silicon spatula, gently remove a poached egg from the muffin tin, draining on a thick kitchen towel before placing on top of the bacon.
- Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and serve warm.
