We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to eggs benedict recipe. To cook eggs benedict you only need 14 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to prepare Eggs Benedict:
- Prepare For the Hollandaise sauce
- Provide 4 egg yolk
- You need 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Use 1/2 C. Unsalted butter (1stick)
- Take Pinch cayenne
- You need Pinch salt
- Use For the Eggs Benedict
- Provide 8 slices Canadian bacon or ham
- Use 4 split English muffins or bagels (I use everything bagels)
- Use 2 tsp white vinegar
- Prepare 8 eggs or egg whites (I use egg whites)
- Use Salt and pepper for taste
- Provide Hollandaise sauce from above
- Provide Fresh chopped parsley
Steps to make Eggs Benedict:
- Start with the Hollandaise sauce. Vigorously whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together in a stainless steel bowl and until the mixture is thickened and doubled in volume..
- Place the bowl over a saucepan containing barely simmering water (or use a double boiler,) the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Continue to whisk rapidly. Be careful not to let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble.
- Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and doubled in volume.
- Remove from heat, whisk in cayenne and salt.
- Cover and place in a warm spot until ready to use for the eggs benedict. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water before serving.
- Now for the eggs Benedict.Brown the Canadian bacon in a medium skillet and toast the English muffins or bagels.
- Fill a 10-inch nonstick skillet half full of water. Add white vinegar to the cooking water. This will make the egg white cook faster so it does not spread. Bring to a slow boil. Gently break 1 of the eggs into the water taking care not to break it. Repeat with remaining eggs. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook 3 1/2 minutes until the egg white is set and yolk remains soft. Remove with a slotted spoon, allowing the egg to drain
- To assemble: Lay a slice of Canadian bacon on top of each muffin half, followed by a poached egg. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon hollandaise sauce over the eggs. Garnish with chopped parsley.
- Note: 1 whole muffin or bagel is 1 serving but I usually only use 1/2 of a muffin or bagel per serving for fewer calories and it is still filling. That's why it says 4-8 people
