EGGS BENEDICT AND EASY HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Break each egg into an individual small bowl and set aside. Fill a large (12-inch) saute pan about half full with water and bring to a boil. Carefully slide each egg into a separate corner of the pan and simmer for exactly 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the eggs to sit in the water for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the slices of prosciutto on a sheet pan and roast for 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Place both halves of each toasted muffin on a dinner plate and, using a slotted spoon, slide a poached egg onto each half. Drizzle hollandaise sauce over the poached eggs and garnish with chives. Serve with a slice of prosciutto.
• Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in the jar of a blender and process on low for 15 seconds. Melt the butter in a small saucepan until it is sizzling hot. Remove the small clear insert in the top of the blender. With the blender on low, slowly add the hot butter to the egg and lemon mixture and blend for 30 seconds, until the sauce is very thick. Use immediately.

Steps:

• Crack eggs into a bowl. Fill a large pot with 3 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to medium. When water is barely simmering, tilt pan slightly to create a wave and add eggs all at once. After 30 seconds, gently release eggs from bottom of pan with a rubber spatula.
• Cook eggs until white is set and yolk is still soft, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, gently transfer eggs to a bowl filled with room temperature water.
• Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add Canadian bacon in two batches and cook until crisp, flipping once, about 4 minutes per side.
• Preheat broiler. Arrange English-muffin halves craggy side up on a baking sheet. Broil until golden and toasted, 1 minute. Spread with butter and top with crisp bacon. Remove each egg with a slotted spoon and blot on a folded paper towel to remove excess water. Top muffin halves with poached egg. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon hollandaise over muffin. Top with watercress and a pinch of cayenne.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and cayenne in a small bowl, and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; set aside.
• Lay the Canadian bacon flat on a rimmed baking sheet. Generously spread both English muffin halves with the butter, sprinkle with some salt and pepper and transfer to the baking sheet. Bake until the muffins start to crisp and the bacon is fragrant, about 10 minutes. Top the bacon evenly with the spinach, and continue baking until the spinach is wilted and the muffins are nicely browned, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Crack the egg in the skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until the egg white is set and crispy on the bottom and edges and the yolk is still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Arrange 1 spinach-topped slice of Canadian bacon on 1 English muffin half, top with the egg, drizzle with the mayonnaise mixture and top with the remaining spinach-topped bacon slice and muffin half.

QUICK AND EASY EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium-high heat, fry the Canadian bacon on each side until evenly browned.
• Fill a large saucepan with about 3 inches water, and bring to a simmer. Pour in the vinegar. Carefully break the 4 eggs into the water, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until whites are set but yolks are still soft. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter until bubbly in a small pan or in the microwave. Remove from heat before butter browns.
• In a blender or large food processor, blend the egg yolks, heavy cream, cayenne pepper, and salt until smooth. Add half of the hot butter in a thin steady stream, slow enough so that it blends in at least as fast as you are pouring it in. Blend in the lemon juice using the same method, then the remaining butter.
• Place open English muffins onto serving plates. Top with 1 slice Canadian bacon and 1 poached egg. Drizzle with the cream sauce, and serve at once.
