Ingredients for Not Quite Eggs Benedict

Method

Directions for Not Quite Eggs Benedict

  1. 1

    Make the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens.

  2. 2

    Add Butter

    Remove the bowl from heat and slowly drizzle in the melted butter, whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    In a large pot, bring water and vinegar to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Panini

    Toast the panini bread slices until golden brown. Layer the parma ham on top of each slice of bread.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a poached egg on each slice of bread topped with parma ham. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
