Eggs Benedict WorldMags.net
DeMo reciPeS

PreP tiMe: 10 Min. cook: 15 Min.


MakeS: 4 servinGs

2 egglands Best egg yolks


11/2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. water
1 pinch pepper
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 pinch salt
4 slices turkey bacon
2 whole wheat english muffins
1 tsp. white vinegar
4 egglands Best eggs

To PrePare The
hoLLaNDaISe SaUCe:
1. Fill the bottom of a double boiler
halfway with water. Make sure water does
not touch the top pan. Bring water to a
slow simmer. If you do not have a double
boiler, you can easily create one using a
small saucepan and a medium-size heavy
glass bowl. Be sure water in the pan does
not touch the bottom of the glass bowl.
2. In the top of the double boiler, whisk
together egg yolks, lemon juice, water,
pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
3. Add melted butter to yolk mixture,
whisking constantly, until all butter is
incorporated. Whisk in salt and set aside.
If mixture gets too thick, add small
amounts of water to thin out.
4. Cover with lid to keep warm and
set aside.
5. Brown bacon in a medium-size skillet
over medium heat. When done, drain on
paper towels and keep warm.
6. Toast English muffins in toaster or
toaster oven.
To PrePare The PoaCheD eGGS:
7. Fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of
water. Bring water to a gentle simmer and
add vinegar.
8. Gently crack eggs into simmering
water. For best results, crack eggs into a
small glass bowl and gently pour or slide
eggs out of bowl into simmering water.
Repeat for all eggs.
9. Allow eggs to cook for 2-3 minutes.
Yolks should still be slightly soft in the
center and whites should be fully set.
Remove eggs from water with a slotted
spoon and set on a warm plate.
10. To assemble, top each muffin with
1 slice of bacon followed by 1 poached egg.
Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and
serve immediately.
