Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and salt. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes pale.

  2. 2

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar to help the eggs hold their shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Canadian Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Canadian bacon slices until they are heated through and slightly browned on both sides.

  4. 4

    Toast the English Muffins

    Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Benedict

    To serve, place one half of a toasted English muffin on each plate.
