Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 8 lices Canadian bacon
- 1 tsp butter
Hollandaise Sauce
- 4 egg yolks
- ½ juice of lemon
- ⅓ cup butter
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Cut the English muffins in half and spread a bit of butter on them. Toast them in a non-stick pan over medium heat, toasting only one side.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the Canadian bacon and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes until crispy.
- Separate the yolks from the whites of 4 fresh eggs. Prepare a double boiler by heating water over medium-low heat.
- Begin cooking the yolks in the double boiler, adding the juice of half a lemon while whisking continuously. Gradually add the melted butter. When the whisk starts to feel some resistance, season with salt and pepper.
- The Hollandaise sauce is ready when it changes color and becomes glossy.
- Bring water to a boil in a deep pot, then add 2 tablespoons of vinegar and lower the heat.
- To poach the eggs, crack each egg into a small cup. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and slowly add the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Poach for 5-6 minutes, then carefully remove the eggs and drain them.
- Assemble the Eggs Benedict by layering the toasted English muffins, Canadian bacon, and poached eggs. Generously pour the Hollandaise sauce on top and enjoy!
