1
Toast the English Muffin
Slice the English muffin in half and toast it until golden brown.
2
Prepare the Poached Egg
In a small pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Add the vinegar. Crack the egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set but the yolk remains runny.
3
Make the Hollandaise Sauce
If using store-bought Hollandaise, skip this step. If homemade, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice in a bowl over simmering water, slowly add melted butter until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
4
Assemble the Benedict
Place the toasted English muffin halves on a plate. Top each half with a generous spoonful of Hollandaise sauce, followed by the poached egg. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
5
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh chives for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your Single Egg Benedict!
