Eggs Benedict

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Place over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk until thickened. Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper, then stir in chopped chives.

  2. 2

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and carefully slide them into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Toast the English Muffins

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Eggs Benedict

    On each toasted English muffin half, layer a slice of ham, a poached egg, and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Garnish with extra chives and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Mixed Berry Salad

    In a bowl, combine mixed berries and drizzle with honey. Toss gently to combine.
