English Muffins

Smoked Shoulder Bacon

Poached Eggs

Holly Sauce

Garnish

Choice of Potatoes

Method

Prepare the Ingredients

  1. 1

    Toast the English Muffins

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Smoked Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked shoulder bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Cook either the Smash'd! American potatoes or crispy hashbrown coins according to package instructions. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Make the Holly Sauce

  1. 4

    Make a Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until it is bubbly and slightly golden.

  2. 5

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and free of lumps. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Slowly add a small amount of the hot sauce to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

  4. 7

    Combine the Mixtures

    Slowly add the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the thickened sauce while stirring continuously. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until combined and heated through. Remove from heat.

Poach the Eggs

  1. 8

    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 water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

Assemble the Eggs Benny

  1. 9

    Layer the Ingredients

    On each toasted English muffin half, place a slice of crispy smoked shoulder bacon followed by a poached egg. Spoon the warm holly sauce generously over the top.

  2. 10

    Garnish

    Sprinkle paprika over the top and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of Smash'd! American potatoes or crispy hashbrown coins on the side.
