Delicious Sunday breakfast meal. Especially after a nice weekly Sunday morning run. Combines great ingredients into a little heap of godliness.
Eggs Benedict is made up of four layers.
- English Muffins
- Middle layer, consisting of anything ranging from artichokes, ham, bacon to fried onions, peppers, chili, whatever your hart desires (for breakfast).
- Poached eggs
- Sauce Hollandaise
In this recipe, we are going to look at the Sauce Hollandaise which tops of everything with a delicious (hopefully) creamy touch.
Sauce Hollandaise
What you need:
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- Some pepper and salt
- Tiny bit of water
- 1 cup of butter
1. Set up culinary apparatus as follows: small saucepan with boiling water, on top a bowl that is larger than the sauce pan underneath.
Note: The boiling water cannot touch the bottom of the bowl.
2. In bowl above the sauce pan whisk together 3 egg yolks, lemon juice, pepper, salt, bit of water (about a tablespoon).
3. Slowly add melted butter and keep whisking!
4. Remove from heat when starting the clot a little.
Note: don't overdo the lemon juice. Gets acidic and sour quite easily.

1. Cut open the muffins.
2. Add middle layer. Personally, I fried onions and peppers.
3. Place poached eggs on top.
3. Top it off with the Sauce Hollandaise.
4. Omnomnomnom.
