Ingredients
Scale
- 2 English muffins, split and toasted
- 8 slices cooked bacon or Canadian bacon
- 4 poached eggs
- 1 batch Blender Hollandaise Sauce
- Optional toppings: chopped fresh chives, parsley, black pepper, cayenne
Instructions
- Prepare the Muffins and Bacon: Toast the English muffin halves until golden. Place 1–2 slices of bacon or Canadian bacon on each half.
- Poach the Eggs: Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack eggs into small cups, then slide them into the water. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
- Make the Hollandaise: In a blender, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, and warm melted butter. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and a pinch of cayenne if desired.
- Assemble the Benedicts: Place one poached egg on top of each bacon-covered muffin half. Drizzle generously with hollandaise sauce.
- Finish with Garnish: Sprinkle with chives, parsley, or freshly ground pepper. Add a pinch of cayenne for extra color and kick.
- Serve Immediately: Eggs Benedict is best enjoyed hot, with the yolk running into the muffin and sauce.
