Brunch Benedict
Brunch Benedict is a classic breakfast dish that is perfect for a lazy weekend brunch. This dish is a combination of crispy English muffins, savory Canadian bacon, perfectly poached eggs, and a rich and creamy hollandaise sauce.
To make this delicious dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 English muffin, split and toasted
- 2 slices of Canadian bacon
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
To start, toast the English muffin and set aside. In a small skillet, cook the Canadian bacon until crispy and set aside.
Next, fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the white vinegar and reduce the heat to a simmer. Crack the eggs into the water and cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.
To make the hollandaise sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Slowly pour the melted butter into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until the sauce is thick and creamy.
To assemble the dish, place the toasted English muffin halves on a plate. Top each half with a slice of Canadian bacon, followed by a poached egg. Spoon the hollandaise sauce over the top of the eggs and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
The Brunch Benedict is a mouthwatering dish that is sure to impress your guests.
