National Eggs Benedict Day will be celebrated on April 16th this year . In honor of this classic I decide to make this delicious breakfast dish for our supper tonight. Lightly toasted English muffins, Canadian bacon and poached eggs all topped off with a creamy smooth, buttery Hollandaise Sauce. From start to finish this dish is simple and quick. It is basically an assembled dish with the Hollandaise Sauce being the only thing that took a few minutes. I used Ina Garten's recipe for the creamy sauce and as usual her recipe did not let me down.
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
- 4 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pinches of cayenne pepper
Directions
Take a gander at the gorgeous orange yolk from my farm eggs.
Yum! I will have to make this on the weekend - when I have time to make English Muffins.

Yum! We're just returned from a tip top Toronto (to see the Red Sox get beat - drat!) and our hosts made us Eggs benedict for breakfast one morning ... they were delish! Yours look wonderful also!
ReplyDeleteI really think your photographs are amazing. I think that would be a yummy dinner. I am so glad you have somewhere to get fresh eggs.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love kosher salt?
I made Pioneer Woman's rosemary rolls that you bake in a skillet, and I used kosher salt instead of sea salt and they are just the best things in the world.
Thanks so much for the tip about my dashboard. You really did save my life. Well at least my blogging one. :)
I can taste the egg yolk through the screen!
