Steps:
- 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).
- Hollandaise sauce: Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that the water doesn't touch the top bowl. Bring water to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together three egg yolks and ½ tsp white vinegar until well mixed.
- Slowly pour the melted butter in the egg yolk mixture, a little at a time, while constantly whisking. If you pour too much too quickly without whisking, the mixture might not thicken or mix properly. If the hollandaise gets too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all the butter is incorporated.
- Remove from heat, whisk in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Place a toasted English muffin half down, layer the ham and egg cup on top of the English muffin, then drizzle your hollandaise sauce over the egg.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- For Sauce: Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat. Add flour and cook; stir for 1 minute. Stir in salt, paprika, nutmeg and pepper until well blended. Stir in milk. Heat to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add wine and cheese. Cook, stirring, just until cheese is melted. Cover and remove from heat.
- For Eggs: Toast and butter muffin halves. Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Place muffins in dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet and brown bacon on each side. Place 2 slices bacon on each muffin. Heat 3 inches of water in Dutch oven to simmer. Break one egg at a time into a small cup. Holding cup close to water's surface and at edge of Dutch oven, slip egg into simmering water. Cook until egg is set about 2-3 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and let water drip off. Gently place egg on top of muffin. Continue with remaining eggs. Spoon prepared sauce over each egg, dividing evenly. Sprinkle with crumb mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- To finish dish, remove from refrigerator and let stand 45 minutes to 1 hour. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Uncover dish and bake 15 minutes or until heated through.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your baked eggs Benedict.
- Use a good quality hollandaise sauce. You can make your own or use a store-bought brand. If you're making your own, be sure to use fresh egg yolks and lemon juice.

- Serve the baked eggs Benedict immediately. This is when they are at their best.
