Main Ingredients

Parmesan Butter

Home Fries

Method

Preparing the Home Fries

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Potatoes

    Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

Making Parmesan Butter

  1. 4

    Prepare the Butter

    In a mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

  2. 5

    Set Aside

    Transfer the Parmesan butter to a small container and refrigerate until needed.

Poaching the Eggs

  1. 6

    Boil Water

    Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add a splash of vinegar to help the eggs set.

  2. 7

    Poach the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into individual small bowls. Gently slide each egg into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk.

  3. 8

    Remove Eggs

    Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove each poached egg and set it on a paper towel to drain.

Assembling the Classic Benny

  1. 9

    Toast the English Muffins

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

  2. 10

    Cook Canadian Bacon

    In a skillet, warm the Canadian bacon over medium heat until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 11

    Build the Benny

    On each toasted muffin half, layer a piece of Canadian bacon followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and top with a dollop of Parmesan butter.

  4. 12

    Serve with Home Fries

    Serve the Classic Benny alongside the prepared home fries.
