Classic Eggs Benedict is a delicious brunch dish featuring poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and hollandaise sauce served on toasted English muffins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 English muffins, split
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices Canadian bacon
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the English muffins until golden brown.
  2. In a skillet, cook the Canadian bacon over medium heat until heated through.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice.
  5. Slowly add the melted butter to the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously until smooth.
  6. In a pot of simmering water, add vinegar and gently crack the eggs into the water, poaching them for about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Assemble the dish by placing the Canadian bacon on the toasted muffins, topping with poached eggs, and drizzling with hollandaise sauce.

Notes

  • For a richer hollandaise, use clarified butter.
  • Make sure to poach the eggs gently to avoid breaking the yolks.
  • Serve with fresh herbs for added flavor.
