Egg Benedict Components

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place over a pan of simmering water, whisking constantly until thickened. Gradually whisk in melted butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.

  2. 2

    Poach the Eggs

    Fill a saucepan with water and add vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Toast the English Muffin

    While the eggs are poaching, split the English muffin and toast it until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Egg Benedict

    Place the toasted English muffin on a plate, top each half with a poached egg, spoon over Hollandaise sauce, and garnish with chopped chives. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
