Ingredients
- BLENDER HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 cup butter
- EGGS BENEDICT
4 slices Canadian bacon
1 tablespoon butter
2 English muffins
4 eggs
1 tablespoon white vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste
chopped parsley for garnish
Directions
- BLENDER HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
- In a blender, add 3 egg yolks;
- Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice;
- Add 1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard;
- Blend;
- Melt 1/2 cup butter in microwave;
- Add in the blender running;
- EGGS BENEDICT
- Melt the tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat;
- Add 4 slices Canadian bacon;
- You just want to give them a quick browning on each side, so flip them over and give them a kiss of brown on each side;
- You want to crack your eggs into individual bowls, pour 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into the boiling water, and then you’re gonna take a spoon and make a nice swirly whirlpool, then you’re gonna take each egg and slide it carefully into the water.
- The swirl from the whirlpool will help wrap the egg whites around the yolk, so give it a second before you add in your next egg.
- Once you have your 4 eggs in, or however many you’re making, simply pop the lid on and we’re gonna turn off the heat and let this sit for 4 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking we just have one last thing to put together, and that’s to toast some English muffins.
- So split them in half, pop them into a toaster.
- Place down an English muffin half, top it with the Canadian bacon, slide on a poached egg, then I like to take a spoon and drizzle on some of that hollandaise sauce, season it with a little bit of salt and freshly cracked pepper, and then I like to finish it with just a little bit of freshly chopped parsley.
- Your Eggs Benedict is ready!
