Ingredients
- 2 English Muffin
- 4 lices ham or Canadian bacon
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 4 egg
For the Hollandaise sauce
- 2 egg yolk
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Set a pot of water to boil for the eggs.
- Split the English muffins and toast them. Set aside, keeping warm if possible.
- If using Canadian bacon, cook it in skillet or under broiler, or warm if using ham.
- Make or warm your Hollandaise sauce. For easy blender sauce, put the yolks, cayenne, mustard and lemon juice in a blender container and blend until smooth. Melt the butter and pour into the yolk mixture with the blender running so that it combines smoothly. Set aside.
- Lastly, poach the eggs. Add the vinegar to the boiling water, then carefully crack the eggs in to the simmering water. Cook for around 3-4 minutes until the whites are translucent but the yolks are still slightly soft. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Assemble the eggs Benedict - make stacks with half a muffin at the bottom, topped with bacon/ham, then a poached egg and topped with the Hollandaise sauce.
Notes
- Note you may not need all of the sauce, but it's hard to make a smaller quantity. If you are serving more people, this may be enough sauce for 3-4 if you serve less.
- I also sometimes serve a whole egg plus a white rather than two whole eggs on the Benedict if it's just us to save having leftover whites.
