Eggs Benedict is a classic breakfast that features two poached eggs on top of a Canadian bacon and crispy toasted English muffin. It's all generously drizzled with homemade Hollandaise sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
  • 1 tsp sea salt or coarse salt
  • pinch cayenne pepper (to taste)
  • 4 English muffins
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar (for poaching eggs)
  • 8 slices Canadian bacon
  • dill weed, parsley, or chives (for garnish)

Directions

  1. 1

    TIP: To make Hollandaise sauce, you would have to whisk very vigorously and constantly for several minutes. Use a hand blender with a whisk attachment to make it easy on yourself!

  2. 2

    Melt butter either in a microwave or in a sauce pot on the stove.

  3. 3

    Crack the eggs and divide them into individual ramekins of small bowls. (This will make it easier to add them to water.)
