How To Make eggs benedict - delish

  • 1
    Prepare the Hollandaise sauce: In the top of a double boiler combine the egg yolks, water, lemon juice, pepper, and salt. ( I just used a sauce pan, and a bowl.) works fine, just be careful of the steam. Add 1 portion of butter, and place over boiling water.
  • 2
    Cook, slowly whisking, until the butter melts and the sauce begins to thicken.
  • 3
    Add the rest of the butter and continue whisking until it thickens.
  • 4
    Brown your ham, Canadian bacon or bacon slices.
  • 5
    Poach your eggs, I use my egg poaching pan, with the individual cups.
  • 6
    Toast muffins. Place 2 toasted muffins halves on each plate. a slice of ham to each halve. Place a poached egg on each.
  • 7
    Ladle sauce over each. Salt and pepper to taste. Delicious!
