For the Eggs Benedict

For the Hollandaise Sauce

Method

Preparing the Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 1

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until just melted. Set aside to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a heat-proof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until pale and thick.

  3. 3

    Combine and Cook

    Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Continue whisking while slowly adding the melted butter until the sauce thickens.

  4. 4

    Season

    Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Keep warm.

Cooking the Eggs and Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Poaching Water

    Fill a large pot with water and add the vinegar and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  2. 6

    Poach the Eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

  3. 7

    Toast the Muffins and Cook the Bacon

    While the eggs are poaching, split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown. In a skillet, cook the Canadian bacon until heated through.

  4. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    On each toasted muffin half, place a slice of Canadian bacon, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and season with ground black pepper.
