    ★ Tips & FAQs ★

    What's the history of Eggs Benedict?

    So the story goes, Eggs Benedict was invented when a guy by the name of Lemuel Benedict walked into the Waldorf Hotel in New York City one morning looking to cure his hangover and ordered this little number.

    There's definitely something about eggs that really does it for me after a night of cocktails. So I am totally getting where this guy was coming from and if anyone knows the science behind why eggs are good for hangovers, please do share.

    So back to the story. The chef fancied the combination of eggs, hollandaise, toast and ham that this dude ordered and put it on the menu. The rest is history.

    Instructions

    • Slice (if needed) and toast English muffins.
    • Make your Hollandaise sauce.
    • Make your poached eggs.
    • Flash fry Canadian bacon in a hot pan for 15 seconds on each side.
    • Layer fried bacon onto each slice of each English Muffin.
    • Top with one poached egg on each toasted muffin, then pour over hollandiase sauce.
    • Garnish if desired and serve immediately.

    Notes

    Cover Hollandaise sauce to keep it warm and you can keep it over extremely low heat. You do not want it to overcook, just keep it warm. Stir if needed as you're preparing other items.
    Let any excess water from poached eggs drip off before layering onto English muffins. Use a paper towel to lightly dab away water if needed.
