Baked Eggs Benedict
Ingredients
- 6 slices ham, canadian-style bacon
- 6 eggs
- 3 english muffins, split in halves
- Hollandaise Sauce:
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 4 tbsp lemon juice, 2 lemons
- Pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Pinch of Salt
Steps
- Hollandaise sauce: Using a double boiler over medium heat, whisk together three egg yolks and 1 tsp white wine vinegar until well mixed.
- Slowly pour melted butter into the egg yolk mixture, while constantly whisking. If hollandaise gets too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water.
- Remove from heat, whisk in lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- 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.)
- Place a toasted English muffin half down, layer the ham and egg cup on top of the English muffin, then drizzle your hollandaise sauce on top.
