CALIFORNIA STYLE EGGS BENEDICT

A rich and delicious version of eggs benedict - also happens to be vegetarian. You'll love the sauce. TIPS: Lime juice, instead of lemon, adds a little more complexity to the flavor of your sauce. Do not attempt to half the sauce recipe - all of the boiling water is needed to heat the yolks to the appropriate temperature. If you want to make this for two - or one, just freeze the rest of the hollandaise sauce for future use over asparagus, brussel sprouts or broccoli.

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Eggs     Breakfast Sandwich Recipes

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices Canadian bacon
1 teaspoon white vinegar
4 eggs
1 cup butter
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 dash ground cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 English muffins, split and toasted

Steps:

  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, fry the Canadian bacon on each side until evenly browned.
  • Fill a large saucepan with about 3 inches water, and bring to a simmer. Pour in the vinegar. Carefully break the 4 eggs into the water, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until whites are set but yolks are still soft. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter until bubbly in a small pan or in the microwave. Remove from heat before butter browns.
  • In a blender or large food processor, blend the egg yolks, heavy cream, cayenne pepper, and salt until smooth. Add half of the hot butter in a thin steady stream, slow enough so that it blends in at least as fast as you are pouring it in. Blend in the lemon juice using the same method, then the remaining butter.
  • Place open English muffins onto serving plates. Top with 1 slice Canadian bacon and 1 poached egg. Drizzle with the cream sauce, and serve at once.

Tips:

  • To make the hollandaise sauce, use fresh egg yolks and lemon juice. This will give the sauce a richer flavor and a smooth texture.
  • When poaching the eggs, make sure the water is gently simmering. If the water is too hot, the eggs will overcook and the whites will become tough.
  • To make the ham crispy, fry it in a hot skillet until it is browned on both sides.
  • Serve the eggs Benedict immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the hollandaise sauce is still warm and the eggs are still runny.

Conclusion:

Eggs Benedict is a classic brunch dish that is both delicious and easy to make. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home. Whether you are serving it to guests or enjoying it yourself, eggs Benedict is sure to impress.
