Eggs Benedict

Eggs Benedict is possibly my favorite breakfast or brunch recipe.

The mix of poached eggs, toasted English muffin and ham is wonderful together.

With the addition of hollandaise sauce, it's all pulled together in one glorious taste sensation.

Eggs benedict may seem like a difficult or gourmet breakfast recipe, but it is really quite simple.

Just add a few quick ingredients to poached eggs and you are ready to go.

Of course you can get a package of powdered hollandaise sauce mix, and it is tasty, but if you want the real thing, look at our recipe for hollandaise sauce. It is not too difficult or time consuming to make it yourself.

Tips:

Canadians call "Canadian bacon" peameal bacon. It is an uncured bacon that has been rolled in corn meal. Slice it into 1/8" slices, fry as bacon and use in place of the ham. It is quite delicious.

Cooking Tip

Le Creuset 2.25-qt. Saucier Pan, Cherry Red

Making the perfect sauce has never been easier!

Le Creuset's cast iron 2-qt. Saucier Pan has a wide, shallow design and curved side edges to make stirring efficient, so that any sauce will cook evenly and at the pace you dictate - a quicker boil for reducing volume or a slow gentle simmer to cook ingredients thoroughly.
