1

Prepare the hollandaise sauce

Start off by making the hollandaise sauce, the star of the show. In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over low heat. In a blender, combine 3 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Blend until well combined. With the blender still running, slowly pour in the melted butter until the sauce becomes thick and creamy. Set aside.

2

Cook the twist on the classic bacon

Now, let's give a twist to the classic bacon. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place 6 slices of bacon on the sheet. Sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until crispy. Set aside.

3

Poach the eggs like a pro

To achieve perfectly poached eggs, bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the water to help the egg whites set quickly. Crack 4 eggs into separate small bowls or ramekins. Slowly slide each egg into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are firm and the yolks are still runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

Assemble your masterpiece

It's time to bring all the elements together. Start by toasting 4 English muffins until golden brown. Place each toasted muffin half on a plate. Layer a slice of the twisty bacon on top of each muffin. Carefully place a poached egg on the bacon. Drizzle a generous amount of the hollandaise sauce over the eggs. Sprinkle with chopped chives for a pop of freshness. And voila, your Eggs Benedict with a twist is ready to be devoured!
