Lemon juice 1 tablespoon
Salt pinch
Butter 1/2 cup, melted
Truffle oil or truffle paste to taste

Take note
Ensure that you handle truffle carefully as it can be quite pricey. Also, be cautious when poaching eggs to avoid any cooking mishaps.

1

Poach the Eggs

Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Carefully slide the egg into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Allow the eggs to poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft.

2

Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 3 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup of melted butter, a little at a time, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in a truffle oil or truffle paste to taste.

3

Toast the English Muffins

Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown. You can also spread a small amount of truffle butter on the muffins for extra flavor if desired.

4

Assemble the Dish

Place a toasted English muffin half on a plate. Top it with a slice of cooked ham or Canadian bacon. Carefully remove the poached eggs from the water using a slotted spoon and place one on top of the ham. Spoon the truffle-infused Hollandaise sauce generously over the egg. Repeat with the remaining muffin halves, ham, eggs, and sauce.

5

Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle some finely chopped fresh chives or parsley over the Eggs Benedict for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately while everything is still warm and enjoy the luxurious flavors of the truffle!
