So, how to cook Eggs Benedict for breakfast?

Steps to make Easy Eggs Benedict

1

Fry the bacon

5

Heat a large pan over a medium heat. Add the slices of bacon and fry gently. Once brown on one side, turn them over and brown the other side. When they’re looking nice and crispy, remove them with tongs and put the slices on a piece of paper towel to soak up the excess fat.

2

Prepare the water for the eggs

5

While you’re doing the bacon, get a large saucepan of water on to boil. Add the vinegar and then lower the heat. You want the water to be just about simmering so it’s ready for the eggs.

3

Make the Hollandaise sauce

3

Making Hollandaise in a blender is super easy. First melt the butter. Then put the egg yolks, lemon juice, cayenne or tabasco and salt into the blender and blend on medium to high speed for half a minute, until the mixture lightens. Turn the blender down to its lowest setting and ever-so-slowly pour in the melted butter. The sauce should look thick and creamy. Check the seasoning - you can add more salt, lemon or tabasco if you like.

4

Poach the eggs

4

Crack an egg into a small bowl and hold the bowl just above the surface of the simmering water so the egg can gently slip in. Once you see the whites start to cook, you can do the same with the second egg, and repeat until all four eggs are poaching away. Put a lid on the pan, turn off the heat and leave for 4 minutes. The aim is for the yolk to still be runny so don’t leave them for too long. Remove with a slotted spoon, in the order that you started cooking them.

5

Toast the muffins

2

Once the eggs are poaching, cut the muffins in half and toast each half.

6

Serving Eggs Benedict

2

Butter one side of half a muffin and sit two slices of bacon (or 1 if you’re using Canadian) on top. Gently add a poached egg and ladle some Hollandaise generously over the top. Garnish with some parsley and serve immediately!

I’ve had a lot of compliments for my Eggs Benedict so I hope you will too! For me, nothing beats the saltiness of the bacon with this dish, but you can switch it out for some salmon or spinach if you like.
