Eggs Benedict
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins toasted and cut in half
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 4 slices ham or Canadian bacon, regular bacon or smoked salmon
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- Freshly chopped parsley or chives for garnish if desired
Instructions
- Melt butter in a small saucepan. Meanwhile, heat 1 inch of water in a small saucepan and place a heat-proof bowl on top to create a double boiler.
- Add egg yolks and a pinch of salt to the bowl of the double boiler and whisk until the yolks becomes a lighter pale color and slightly thicken. Remove from heat and drizzle in melted butter while whisking constantly. Add lemon juice.
- Add ham to the small saucepan that the butter was melted in along with mustard and honey, and heat over medium heat. Cook until heated through then set aside until ready to assemble.
- Heat a pot of water to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Add in vinegar and stir gently so that water forms a slight whirlpool. Carefully crack one egg at a time into water, stirring gently after each egg addition. Remove after 3 minutes.
- Place slices of ham (or bacon or salmon) onto English muffins then gently add poached eggs. Spoon on hollandaise and serve immediately with fresh chopped parsley or chives for garnish, if desired.
