Eggs Benedict is a classic brunch dish that is sure to impress your guests. It is made with poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, and English muffins. While it may seem like a difficult dish to make, it is actually quite simple once you know the steps.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 English muffins, toasted

Instructions

Poaching the Eggs

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the vinegar.
2. Crack the eggs into a small bowl. One at a time, carefully slide the eggs into the boiling water.
3. Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
4. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.

Making the Hollandaise Sauce

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Slowly add the melted butter to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
4. Cook the sauce over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it is thickened and smooth.

Assembling the Eggs Benedict

1. Place an English muffin half on each plate.
2. Top each muffin half with a poached egg.
3. Spoon the hollandaise sauce over the eggs.
4. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For a richer hollandaise sauce, use clarified butter.
• If you don't have a double boiler, you can make hollandaise sauce in a microwave-safe bowl.
• To make ahead of time, poach the eggs and make the hollandaise sauce up to 2 hours ahead of time. Reheat the hollandaise sauce over low heat before serving.

Variations

• Add smoked salmon or Canadian bacon to your eggs Benedict.
• Use different types of bread, such as croissants or bagels, for your English muffins.
• Make a vegetarian version of eggs Benedict by using tofu instead of eggs.
