Is there a better way to pamper yourself or express how much you care for someone first thing in the morning than preparing a creative and delicious breakfast? And you can never go wrong with this classic breakfast recipe - Eggs Benedict. Best of all, now you won’t have to go to a restaurant to enjoy it, just prepare it at home.

Prep Time 45 minutes

Serves: 4

Difficulty Level: Low

Ingredients for Hollandaise sauce:

Butter - 1/2 cup

Egg yolk - 3

Lemon juice - 1 tbsp.

Dijon mustard - 1 tsp.

Salt - 1/4 tsp.

Cayenne pepper - a pinch (optional)

Ingredients for Eggs Benedict:

Salt - to taste

English muffins - 4 (or your choice of bread)

Ham or bacon - 8 slices

Eggs - 8

Green onions - to garnish (or any greens of your choice)

Method of preparing the Hollandaise sauce:

Melt the butter and set aside. Process the rest of the ingredients and process in a blender until smooth.
Slowly drizzle in the butter until uniform.

Method of preparing the Eggs Benedict:

Toast the English muffins. Once they cool down, butter them.
Cook the bacon until browned, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Top each muffin with a piece of bacon or ham.
Now we poach the eggs. Boil water with a drop of vinegar and reduce to a simmer. Stir the water to create a whirl.
Crack the egg into a bowl, and while the water still whirls lower it gently into the water. Let cook for 3 minutes and remove from the water with a slotted spoon, onto a paper towel to absorb excess water.
Put the eggs on the bacon-topped English muffin, then cover with the sauce and garnish with greens.
