Eggs

Method

Preparing the Meat

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon or sausage links until cooked through and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Poaching the Eggs

  1. 2

    Prepare the Water

    Fill a saucepan with about 3 inches of water. Add the white vinegar and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for runny yolks or longer for firmer yolks. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Making the Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until it's completely melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 5

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and frothy. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while continuously whisking until the sauce is thickened.

  3. 6

    Add Seasoning

    Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 7

    Toast the English Muffins

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

  2. 8

    Build the Benny

    Place a slice of cooked meat on each toasted English muffin half, top with a poached egg, and generously drizzle with hollandaise sauce.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika.
