Main Ingredients

Hollandaise Sauce

Method

Preparing the Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prep the English Muffins

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ham

    Warm the sliced ham in a skillet over low heat until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Making the Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 3

    Melt the Butter

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

  2. 4

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until pale and thickened.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking until the sauce is thick and creamy. If it's too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water to loosen it.

  4. 6

    Add Cayenne

    Stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper for a slight kick and adjust seasoning as needed.

Cooking the Eggs

  1. 7

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk or longer if you prefer them firmer.

Assembling the Boursin Benedict

  1. 8

    Layer the Ingredients

    On each toasted English muffin half, spread a generous amount of Boursin cheese, then layer with the warmed ham.

  2. 9

    Top with Poached Egg

    Carefully place a poached egg on top of the ham.

  3. 10

    Drizzle with Hollandaise

    Spoon the warm hollandaise sauce generously over the poached egg.
