Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a double boiler, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice until thickened. Gradually add melted butter while whisking continuously until smooth. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set and yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rolls and Ham

    While the eggs are poaching, slice the challah rolls in half and toast until golden. In a separate pan, warm the slices of smoked ham until heated through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Eggs Benedict

    On each toasted half of the challah roll, place a slice of warm ham. Top with a poached egg and generously drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately.
