Ingredients
- 2 English muffins split and toasted
- 4 slices Canadian bacon or ham for the eggs benedict
- 4 large eggs for the eggs benedict
- water for poaching for the eggs benedict
- 1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice for the eggs benedict
- 1 Stick butter For the Blender Hollandaise:
- 3 egg yolks For the Blender Hollandaise:
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice For the Blender Hollandaise:
- 2 tsp. Dijon mustard For the Blender Hollandaise:
- Pinch of salt For the Blender Hollandaise:
- Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper for serving
Instructions
- Start by making the hollandaise so it’s ready to go. Melt the butter until fully liquid and hot. In a blender, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt. Blend for about 10–15 seconds until the mixture becomes slightly thick and pale. With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter in a thin stream until the sauce becomes thick, smooth, and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Keep warm
- For the poached eggs, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer (not boiling). Add vinegar if using. Crack each egg into a small bowl first. Stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool, then carefully slide the egg into the center. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk remains soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
- While the eggs are poaching, warm the Canadian bacon in a pan until lightly browned and heat the English muffins until golden and crisp.
- To assemble, place the warm bacon on each toasted and buttered muffin half, top with a poached egg, and spoon generously with warm blender hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
💡 Chef Notes
- Butter must be hot to properly emulsify the hollandaise
- Fresh eggs give the best poached shape and texture
- Hollandaise is best served immediately—do not reheat
- Vinegar helps stabilize poached eggs but is optional
