Ingredients
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the vinegar. Crack the eggs into the water and poach for 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
To make the hollandaise sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Slowly whisk in the melted butter until the sauce is thick and creamy. Season with salt.
Toast the English muffins. Top each half with a slice of bacon, a poached egg, and a generous spoonful of hollandaise sauce.
Tip
To make the perfect poached egg, add a teaspoon of vinegar to the boiling water. This helps the egg whites coagulate more quickly, resulting in a perfectly shaped poached egg.
Side Dish Suggestion
A side of fresh fruit would be a great complement to this dish. The sweetness and acidity of the fruit would balance out the richness of the Eggs Benedict.
