Follow our recipe below to enjoy eggs Benedict from the comfort of your own home – in fact, bring the dish to bed, we won’t tell.
Method
Eggs Benedict:
- Cut the muffins in half and toast each side.
- Meanwhile, poach your eggs in the microwave using our M-Poach™ microwave egg poacher.
- Top each muffin half with a slice of ham followed by the poached egg.
- Drizzle over the hollandaise sauce.
- Season and serve.
Hollandaise sauce:
- Melt the butter in a pan and remove from the heat.
- Whisk the egg yolks and white wine vinegar in a heat proof bowl.
- Place the bowl over a pan or barely simmering water and continue to whisk.
- Gradually add the butter to the mix while continuing to whisk (it is more important to do this very slowly otherwise it will curdle).
- Add a squeeze of lemon (try using our Helix juicer to avoid any pips) and season to taste.
