4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
2 thin slices of prosciutto
2 English muffins, sliced in half and toasted
Easy Hollandaise Sauce (recipe follows)
Minced fresh chives, for serving
2 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter

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.

EGGS BENEDICT WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE (THREE WAYS)



Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce (Three Ways) image

This recipe includes an adaptation of my brother Merlin's blender hollandaise sauce, which originated from the Joy of Cooking hollandaise recipe. As a family tradition that started when Merlin and I were in our twenties, after opening presents on Christmas morning, my brother would make eggs Benedict for everyone using the leftover ham from our Christmas Eve dinner. To use his words, not mine, he didn't ever contribute much to the holiday, so this was his way of making up for it, and I'll tell ya, it earned my forgiveness--at least for a day. We would then proceed to lounge around and watch TV and sleep the rest of the day in our ugly Christmas pajamas (also a Christmas tradition in our family).

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 egg yolks
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Pinch of cayenne pepper, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
2 English muffins, split
4 large eggs
4 slices cooked ham, 4 slices smoked salmon, or 16 stalks steamed asparagus
Fresh dill or chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Fill a medium to large pot with 4 inches of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cover the pot.
  • To make the hollandaise sauce: In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard, cayenne, and salt and blend it briefly to combine.
  • In a small skillet or pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it's almost fully melted and starting to bubble but there are still a few pieces of solid butter remaining, remove it from the heat. (Please note: Do not melt the butter in the microwave, as you don't have control over the temperature and the temperature is key for making this blender hollandaise sauce.)
  • With the lid on the blender, turn it on low to medium speed, then slowly and carefully remove the cap in the lid (keeping the lid on) and pour in a little butter. Blend until the butter is incorporated, then with the blender running, carefully pour in the rest of the butter, little by little.
  • Be careful, because this can splatter and make a very big mess! The mixture should instantly thicken up and create a delicious smooth hollandaise sauce. If it fails to thicken up right away, blend it on really high speed for a minute.
  • Keep the hollandaise sauce in the blender jar and give it a quick blend every minute or so or place the blender jar in a large bowl of warm water to keep the sauce warm so a film doesn't form on the top.
  • To make the eggs Benedict: Take the lid off the pot of water and add the vinegar.
  • Put the English muffin halves in the toaster. The English muffins and eggs will take the same amount of time, so you want to have the English muffins toasted and ready when the eggs finish cooking.
  • Crack one of the eggs into a small bowl. With a spoon, give the simmering water in the pot a quick clockwise stir so there is a little movement in the water. Once the water has almost stopped swirling, gently and carefully dip the bowl into the top of the water and dump the egg into the water. Without agitating the water again, repeat with the other eggs. Poach the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes. You want the whites to be completely set but the yolks to still be jiggly.
  • Place a slice of ham, a slice of smoked salmon, or 4 stalks of cooked asparagus on top of each toasted English muffin half.
  • Pull each egg out of the water with a slotted spoon. Give it a little shake to let the water drain off, then place it on top of the prepared English muffin. Top each with a couple of generous spoonfuls of the hollandaise sauce. Garnish with a quick shake of cayenne and dill or chives, and you are ready to enjoy!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for serving
8 slices (8 ounces) Canadian bacon
4 English muffins, split
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 recipe Blender Hollandaise Sauce, kept warm
Watercress, for serving
Cayenne pepper, for serving

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.

Tips:

  • For perfectly poached eggs, use fresh eggs and bring the water to a gentle simmer before adding them. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  • To make the hollandaise sauce, use clarified butter. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • If you don't have any dill on hand, you can substitute another fresh herb, such as chives or parsley.
  • To assemble the salad, layer the poached eggs on top of the wilted spinach, smoked salmon, and avocado. Drizzle with the hollandaise sauce and sprinkle with paprika and chopped chives.
  • Serve the salad immediately, while the eggs are still warm and the hollandaise sauce is still melted.

Conclusion:

Eggs Benedict salad with dill hollandaise dressing is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of poached eggs, smoked salmon, avocado, and hollandaise sauce, this salad is sure to impress your guests.
