Ingredients for Traditional Benny
Method
Directions for Traditional Benny
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients needed for the Traditional Benny. Ensure the eggs are fresh, and the English muffins are sliced in half.
- 2
Cook the Canadian Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the Canadian bacon slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Poach the Eggs
In a large saucepan, fill with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and salt to the water. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water one at a time. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set, but the yolks remain runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain any excess water.

Toast the English Muffins
While the eggs are poaching, toast the English muffin halves in a toaster or under the broiler until golden brown. Spread the remaining tablespoon of butter on the toasted muffin halves.

Assemble the Benny
On each toasted English muffin half, place a slice of Canadian bacon. Top each with a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and season with black pepper to taste.

Garnish and Serve
Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the top of each assembled Benny. Serve immediately while hot.
