EGGS BENEDICT

INGREDIENTS:

unsalted butter

large eggs

egg yolks

fresh lemon juice

cayenne or hot paprika

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

white distilled vinegar

Kosher salt

English muffins

Canadian bacon

chopped chives

chopped dill, tarragon or parsley

STEPS:

1. Make the hollandaise: 

  * Melt unsalted butter in a small pot over medium heat until it’s foamy but not beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

  * Place egg yolks and 2 teaspoons water in a blender.

  * Start blending, and, working very slowly, add the hot, melted butter until it’s all incorporated.

  * Add lemon juice and cayenne; season with salt and pepper.

  * Transfer to a small bowl, and place plastic wrap directly on the surface so it doesn’t form a skin; set aside.

2. Poach the eggs

  * Fill a medium pot with 3” of water.

  * Add vinegar, season with salt and bring to a simmer

  * Using the handle of a spoon, stir the water with a clockwise motion.

  * Gently crack an egg into the center of the pot, letting the water swirl around it and allowing the white to envelop the yolk.

  * Repeat with remaining eggs — you could probably do up to four at a time.

  * Check the eggs after 4 minutes: Use a slotted spoon to lift an egg out of the water, and feel the white for firmness. If it's not quite done, slide it back in for another minute or so.

  * Let cook until the whites are just set, but the yolks are still completely runny 4 to 5 minutes; let eggs drain on a towel-lined plate.

3. Cook ham in a medium skillet over
