Method

Eggs Benedict

1

Prepare the Poached Eggs

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar. Crack the eggs into individual small bowls. Create a whirlpool in the water and gently slide the eggs into the center. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

2

Toast the English Muffins

While the eggs are poaching, split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

3

Assemble the Eggs Benedict

Place a slice of ham or smoked salmon on each toasted muffin half. Top with a poached egg, drizzle with melted butter, and season with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley.

4

Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. In a baking dish, layer the potatoes, seasoning with salt, pepper, and nutmeg as you go.

5

Prepare the Cream Mixture

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream with minced garlic until just warmed. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, ensuring even coverage.

6

Add Cheese and Bake

Sprinkle the Gruyère cheese on top of the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
