Perfectly Poached Eggs Recipe:
Bring a pot of water to a simmer with a splash of vinegar. Crack eggs into a small bowl. Once the water simmers, create a whirlpool with a spoon and gently swirl the water. Carefully slip each egg into the center of the whirlpool. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk.
Toasty English Muffins:
Toast English muffins until golden brown. You can achieve this by using a toaster oven, griddle, or even a pan with melted butter.
Hollandaise Magic:
Whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water (double boiler method). Gradually whisk in melted butter until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Top toasted English muffins with Canadian bacon or smoked salmon. Gently place a poached egg on each and spoon over the decadent hollandaise sauce.
Final Touch:
Garnish your Eggs Benedict with a sprinkle of fresh chives for a touch of color and freshness. Enjoy this impressive and delicious brunch dish!
Benedict Eggs for Perfection:
Use fresh eggs for optimal poaching results. Ensure your hollandaise sauce is warm, but not boiling, to prevent curdling.
