Eggs Benedict


Description

A luxurious brunch dish featuring poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and creamy hollandaise sauce on toasted English muffins.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 8 slices Canadian bacon
  • 4 English muffins, halved
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup hollandaise sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a pot of boiling water, add vinegar. Carefully drop in the eggs, one at a time, and simmer for about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the Canadian bacon until browned on both sides. Set aside.
  3. Spread butter on the cut sides of the English muffins and broil until golden brown.
  4. On each muffin half, place a slice of bacon, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and garnish with chives.

Notes

For perfectly poached eggs, ensure the water is at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil. Pair with fresh fruit or hash browns for a delightful brunch.
