4 tbspButter
4Fresh Eggs [room temp]
1 tspWhite Distilled Vinegar
1 packagesPrecooked Canadian Bacon [8 pieces]
1 packagesKnorr Hollandaise Sauce Mix
1/4 tspCracked Black Pepper

4 tbspChopped Chives
Kitchen Items Required
4small Bowls Or Ramakins
1Metal Slotted Spoon
1Serrated Knife
2small Pots
1Whisk

Cooking Instructions

20 mins

1

Don't cut the English Muffins in half as you usually would. Just slightly shave off the top dusty portion of the muffin with a serrated knife. Toast well and spread butter on serrated side. By slightly shaving off the tops you'll end up with a thicker, more absorbant muffin that still has that same toasted, crispy outer layer most enjoy.
2

Place a small amount of Hollandaise sauce on top of your buttered muffin. Just enough to cover the top.
3

Place 2 pieces of Canadian Bacon on top of your sauce.
4

Place poached egg on top of your Canadian Bacon.
5

Top with Hollandaise sauce and sprinkle with Cayenne Pepper and fresh chives.
6

FOR HOLLANDAISE SAUCE: Place 1 cup milk and 1/4 cup butter in pot and bring to a simmer. Add Knorrs Hollandaise packet and black pepper and briskly stir with a whisk.
7

FOR POACHED EGGS: Gently crack open 4 eggs and place into individual ramakin bowls. This step is necessary for the security of your yolks. Bring 4" water to a boil then add 1 teaspoon white vinager. Gently add 2 eggs to the water. Boil for 2 1/2 minutes. Gently remove eggs with a slotted spoon. Leave the egg on your spoon and daub on a paper towel to dry for a second or two and gently place on muffin.

Repeat for the other 2 eggs.

TIP: If making more than 2 servings, [especially for larger groups] for times sake, you can poach your eggs for 2 1/2 minutes then gently place in a large bowl filed with water and mostly ice. Let them set until you're ready to serve. When ready, gently place them back into your boiling water for a few seconds [never leaving your slotted spoon] and viola, you still have perfect, timely poached eggs!

When my daughter was small, she had a children's cookbook with simple recipes that her mother and I helped her make. One was titled 'Eggs in Bologna Cups' which we adapted to one of our favorite dishes, 'Eggs Benedict'. She is now married with her own family but, to this day, 30+ years later, her mother and I still make this recipe for ourselves!

Eggs Benedict is a family favorite but we've had a lot of bad bennies through the years. This is the final result of lots of trial and error but now it comes out perfect every time. Wow your family or friends at our next brunch.

What kid doesn't love a dish named specifically after them? This version was named for one of our foster daughters who was born in Alabama, wanted Eggs Benedict one morning and just wouldn't wait for the proper ingredients. After that, this dish became a regular on our culinary roster.

What makes a good brunch stand out from the rest are the Eggs Benedict. They have it all: delicious, nutritious, easy to make, and if you serve them over bread toasted with Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain, they will brighten up any day of the week. Try our recipe!

Classic eggs Benedict! 😋 I used a toasted bagel instead of my usual English muffin or my personal fave, sourdough bread.

I remember the first time I tried this was at Disney world and my kids loved it as well so I just had to try and make it. I found the receipt watching the food network channel and followed it off the website. What can I say I love to cook. It's really yummy. Good for family breakfast gatherings like holidays or a great breakfast in bed for your wife on your anniversary.

Simple Eggs Benedict and Hollandaise Sauce Simple Eggs Benedict and Hollandaise Sauce

I wanted to try making a Hollandaise sauce with simple ingredients.Since this recipe doesn't require eggs, the resulting sauce is very light.-When making more than one poached egg, cook them separately, not all at once.-You don't want the egg to explode in the microwave so heat it carefully for 10 seconds at a time after the initial cooking time.-You don't have to serve the eggs with English muffins, sandwich bread or French bread will work just as well. For 4 eggs benedict or 2 english muffins' worth. Recipe by hirokoh
