Eggs Benedict

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Hollandaise Sauce

    In a double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Gradually whisk in melted butter until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Ham and Avocado

    Grill or pan-fry the ham slices until browned. Slice the avocado.

  4. 4

    Toast the Muffins

    Split and toast the English muffins until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Eggs Benedict

    On each toasted muffin half, place a slice of grilled ham, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and top with avocado slices.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Eggs Benedict with a simple salad or fried Yukon gold potatoes on the side.

  7. 7

    Fried Yukon Gold Potatoes (Optional)

    Cube the Yukon gold potatoes and fry them in olive oil until golden and crispy. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
