EGGS BENEDICT

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.

Steps:

• Prepare Hollandaise: Whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and pepper in a pan over low heat. Add 1/2 of the butter and continue to whisk until the butter is melted and incorporated. Add remaining butter and salt and whisk until melted. Sprinkle in paprika. Turn heat off and cover with a lid to keep warm.
• Fill a large saucepan with 5 to 8 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add vinegar and reduce heat to low. Carefully break eggs into the simmering water and cook until whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, dab on a kitchen towel to remove excess water, and place onto a warm plate.
• While the eggs are poaching heat ham in a skillet over medium-high heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes, microwave spinach sprinkled with a little water on a plate for 30 seconds, and toast English muffins.
• Spread butter on toasted muffins. Top each half with a slice of ham, some spinach, and a poached egg. Drizzle with a healthy helping of Hollandaise and serve immediately.

BAKED EGGS BENEDICT CUPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Egg Cups: Grease a large muffin tin. Place a slice of ham in each tin, then crack an egg over each slice of ham. Cover with tin foil, then bake at 350˚F (175˚C) for 8-10 minutes (eight minutes if you like your yolk very runny).
• Hollandaise sauce: Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that the water doesn't touch the top bowl. Bring water to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together three egg yolks and ½ tsp white vinegar until well mixed.
• Slowly pour the melted butter in the egg yolk mixture, a little at a time, while constantly whisking. If you pour too much too quickly without whisking, the mixture might not thicken or mix properly. If the hollandaise gets too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all the butter is incorporated.
• Remove from heat, whisk in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Place a toasted English muffin half down, layer the ham and egg cup on top of the English muffin, then drizzle your hollandaise sauce over the egg.
• Enjoy!
