1

Slice the tomatoes

Grab a ripe tomato and carefully slice it into thick, juicy rounds. You'll need about two slices per serving. Set aside.

2

Sizzle the bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Lay the strips on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Keep the bacon grease in the skillet for later.

3

Whip up the hollandaise

Now, it's time for the star of our show – the hollandaise sauce! In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over low heat. While the butter melts, crack 3 large egg yolks into a heatproof bowl. Whisk the yolks vigorously until they turn pale and frothy. Slowly pour the melted butter into the bowl while whisking continuously. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Keep whisking until the sauce thickens. Set it aside.

4

Make it toast-y

Pop a couple of English muffins into the toaster and let them get nice and toasty. Once they're golden brown and crispy, remove them from the toaster and set them aside.

5

Time for a cheese party

Crumble up some tangy feta cheese and sprinkle it over the tomato slices. Feel free to get a little generous with the cheese – it adds a burst of flavor!

6

Poach those eggs

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of white vinegar to the water to help the eggs hold their shape. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then slowly slide it into the simmering water. Let it cook for about 3 minutes for a perfectly runny yolk. Repeat this step for however many eggs you want to poach.

7

Assemble the deliciousness

Place a couple of tomato slices with feta cheese on top of each toasted English muffin half. Next, lay a crispy strip of bacon on each tomato stack. Carefully scoop a poached egg out of the simmering water and place it on top of the bacon. Finally, generously drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the whole stack. Now you have a Mediterranean twist on Eggs Benedict that's ready to be devoured!
