Eggs Benedict

Hollandaise Sauce

Home Fries

Method

Prepare Home Fries

  1. 1

    Cook Potatoes

    Dice the potatoes into small cubes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and crispy.

Prepare Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 2

    Make Hollandaise

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and salt. Place over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Whisk continuously while slowly drizzling in melted butter until the sauce is thick and creamy. Add cayenne pepper and set aside.

Poach Eggs and Cook Bacon

  1. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into individual cups and carefully slide them into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  2. 4

    Cook Bacon

    In a separate skillet, cook turkey or pork bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble Eggs Benedict

  1. 5

    Serve

    Toast the brioche slices. Layer each slice with a slice of tomato, a few slices of avocado, bacon, and top with poached eggs. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and serve with home fries on the side.
