Take note
Use caution when working with hot surfaces and boiling water. Also, be careful when handling sharp knives and blenders.

1

Poach the Perfect Eggs

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar to help the eggs hold their shape. Crack an egg into a small bowl and carefully slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to lift the eggs out of the water and onto a plate lined with paper towels.

2

Toast the English Muffins

Split your English muffins in half and lightly toast them until golden brown. You can use a toaster or toast them under the broiler for a crispier texture. Butter the toasted muffins for extra indulgence.

3

Sizzle Some Canadian Bacon

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Fry the Canadian bacon until it turns golden and crispy on both sides. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

4

Whip Up a Silky Hollandaise Sauce

In a blender, combine 3 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend on low speed to combine. Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter until hot and foamy. With the blender running, gradually pour in the melted butter in a slow steady stream until the sauce thickens. Season with a dash of cayenne pepper and keep warm.

5

Assemble Your Eggs Benedict Masterpiece

Place a toasted English muffin half on a plate, then top it with a slice of Canadian bacon. Carefully place a poached egg on top of the bacon. Drizzle a generous spoonful of hollandaise sauce over the poached egg. Repeat with the remaining muffin halves, bacon, eggs, and sauce. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chopped chives or parsley.
