Easy Eggs Benedict Recipe with Hollandaise Sauce

April 16 is National Eggs Benedict Day. What a good reason to repost one of my favorite breakfast meals, Eggs Benedict. It's simply a toasted English Muffin, topped by turkey bacon, a Poached Egg, and a bit of Hollandaise Sauce.

You just can't beat the delicious combination of flavors and proteins. This dish looks beautiful on a plate and is not hard to make, especially if you cheat and use a high-quality packaged Hollandaise Sauce, such as Knorr's Hollandaise Sauce (affiliate link). It's as simple as making poached eggs and toast.

You start with Poached Eggs and a good English Muffin, like Bay's English Muffins (affiliate link) or Homemade English Muffins (Don's English Muffins), add some thin-sliced turkey bacon and some Hollandaise sauce. For a change of pace (and one I much prefer!), try substituting Smoked Salmon (affiliate link) for turkey bacon.

What You Need

For this recipe, you need some good pots and pans, measuring cups and spoons, a wire whisk, and a slotted spoon. Whatever you buy, buy the best you can afford. But what you really want is a fabulous espresso machine, am I right?

Ingredients
  

  • 1 English muffin toasted
  • 4 slices Turkey Bacon warmed (or 1 ounce smoked salmon)
  • 2 poached eggs
  • 2-4 teaspoons Hollandaise Sauce
  • 1 dash Paprika for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions
 

Make Hollandaise Sauce

  • Make the Hollandaise Sauce according to the directions on the package. Knorr's Hollandaise Sauce calls for a cup of milk and ¼ cup of butter or margarine. It makes enough for 4-6 servings, and takes about 15 minutes to make.

Poach Eggs

  • Heat a deep skillet or pot of water.
  • Break the eggs into the boiling water.
  • To prevent sticking in the pan, add about 1 tablespoon white vinegar to the water.
  • Turn the temperature down to medium.
  • If the eggs are not entirely submerged in the water, ladle or splash the hot water over top of them until they are done to your standards. I like mine runny, so it doesn't take long, maybe 1 minute. If you prefer them a bit harder, just cook them longer until they look to be about the doneness you prefer.

Toast Muffins & Heat Bacon

  • While the eggs are cooking, toast the muffins and heat the turkey bacon for 15-20 seconds in the microwave.

Put It Together

  • Put 2 slices of turkey bacon on top of each muffin half.
  • Scoop the eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon and let them drain over the pan for a bit.
  • Add them to the top of the bacon.
  • Spoon a little sauce over top and sprinkle with paprika to make it pretty.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

NOTE: Don and I have not mastered making homemade Hollandaise Sauce. We find that Knorr's packaged sauce works well.
