THE BEST EGGS BENEDICT
We engineered this classic brunch dish to guarantee your success. By getting the muffins and bacon ready in advance and keeping them warm in the oven, you can focus on poaching a perfect egg. A blender makes an easy, foolproof hollandaise sauce. We added plenty of lemon to make it bright and tangy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Fill a large saucepan with 2 quarts water. Add the vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, toast the English muffins until golden brown. Spread with butter and place on one side of a baking sheet. Keep warm in the oven.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until heated through, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer the bacon to the other side of the baking sheet to keep warm.
- Melt the remaining butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the yolks, lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the cayenne to a blender. Blend for 1 minute. With the blender running, pour the melted butter very slowly through the open hole of the blender lid until smooth, thick and emulsified. Transfer the sauce back to the saucepan and place in the oven to keep warm.
- Crack the whole eggs into small cups or glasses. If your simmering water has reduced too much, add a bit more water and bring back to a steady simmer. When the water is at a steady simmer, slip the eggs into the water in one quick motion, arranging them clockwise in the pan so you know which will be ready first.. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- Top each muffin half with a slice of Canadian bacon and a poached egg. Pour hollandaise sauce over each muffin. (If the sauce has thickened too much, whisk it with a tablespoon of water.) Sprinkle each serving with a little cayenne and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

- Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, parsley, Parmesan cheese, mustard, garlic, and pepper in a bowl. Spread over bread on the baking sheet.
- Broil in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 4 minutes.

- Place eggs in the same skillet; cook over medium-high heat until whites are set on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip over to cook the other side until whites are completely set, about 1 minute more. Layer bacon and eggs over the broiled bread and top with the 2 grilled slices.

Steps:
- To Make Hollandaise: Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that water does not touch the top pan. Bring water to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon water.
- Add the melted butter to egg yolk mixture 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time while whisking yolks constantly. If hollandaise begins to get too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all butter is incorporated. Whisk in salt, then remove from heat. Place a lid on pan to keep sauce warm.
- Preheat oven on broiler setting. To Poach Eggs: Fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water. Bring water to a gentle simmer, then add vinegar. Carefully break eggs into simmering water, and allow to cook for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Yolks should still be soft in center. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon and set on a warm plate
- While eggs are poaching, brown the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and toast the English muffins on a baking sheet under the broiler.
- Spread toasted muffins with softened butter, and top each one with a slice of bacon, followed by one poached egg. Place 2 muffins on each plate and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve immediately.

EMERILIZED EGGS BENEDICT
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2006. Show: Emeril Live, Episode: Gospel Brunch. Use DiBs' recipe #11783 or my recipe #143288 for the recipe for the Essence or Creole Seasoning or Bayou Blast - they all are recipes for the seasoning. We had a trial-run of this dish and it turned out quite expensive - since there were at least 20 of us - the beef fillets were a bit pricey but otherwise the dish is very reasonable.

Tips:
- Prep Ahead: Hollandaise sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead. Just reheat gently over low heat, whisking constantly, until warmed through.
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest eggs you can find for the best flavor and texture.
- Cook Eggs Gently: Do not overcook the eggs, or they will become tough. Aim for a soft-poached egg with a runny yolk.
- Warm Plates: Warm plates help to keep the eggs Benedict warm and prevent the hollandaise sauce from cooling too quickly.
- Serve Immediately: Eggs Benedict is best served immediately after it is made. The hollandaise sauce will start to separate if it sits for too long.
