Yield: 3
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Difficulty Level: Moderate

Ingredients:

For the eggs benedict:

  • 3 English muffins
  • 3 slices of Canadian bacon, cooked
  • 3 poached eggs
  • hollandaise sauce
  • chives to garnish

For 3 English muffins:

  • 1 cup milk, lukewarm
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp dry yeast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2½ cups flour

For 3 poached eggs:

  • 4-5 cups hot water
  • 2 tbsp vinegar
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 3 eggs

For the hollandaise sauce: 

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ¾ cup melted butter
  • juice of ½ lemon

Instructions:

1. For the English muffins, add the lukewarm milk, melted butter, water, egg, and dry yeast to a blender and mix until combined. Let the mixture sit 10 minutes, then add the salt, sugar, and flour to the blender, and mix until combined.

2. Heat a greased pan over medium heat and place 3 stainless steel cake rings that are roughly the same diameter as the Canadian bacon in the pan. Divide the English muffin batter between the 3 cake rings, place the 3 slices of Canadian bacon in the pan, cover the pan with a lid, and let everything cook for 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the cake rings and Canadian bacon slices over, place the lid back on the pan, and everything cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Remove the cooked English muffins and Canadian bacon from the pan and remove the cake rings from the English muffins. Let the English muffins cool and then cut them in half horizontally.

3. For the poached eggs, place a small bowl inside the blender so that it sits near the top and fill the blender with hot water. Add the vinegar to the blender, turn on the blender at the lowest setting and carefully crack 1 egg into the water. Let the egg cook for about 5 minutes and then carefully remove it from the blender. Repeat with the other 2 eggs for a total of 3 poached eggs.
