How To Make Eggs Benedict - Chef Remy Cooks!

This 4 minute video shows the complete process of making Eggs Benedict. There are four steps: Toast English muffins, fry Canadian bacon, poach eggs, and make Hollandaise sauce topping. Toasting the muffins can be first since it's on the bottom. Frying the bacon can be second. Poaching and egg can be third step since it goes on top of the bacon. Hollandaise sauce is the only thing that is a bit involved and is made last for the topping. If you see my video on making Hollandaise sauce and tried my method, you should be up and running quickly. I also have a video on poaching eggs Hopefully you can pair Eggs Benedict with a drink called Mimosa which is wonderful, especially in the morning.
INGREDIENTS:
1 whole egg, poached 1 egg yolk
1 slice Canadian Bacon 1 slice (bottom) English Muffin
½ stick cold butter, sliced 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
¼ cup white vinegar 1 ½ Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp.salt


METHOD: Toast bottom half of an English muffin. Spread butter on it. Set on plate. Fry slice of Canadian bacon in small pan in olive oil over medium high heat. Place on buttered, toasted English muffin. Poach and egg in salted water that has ¼ cup vinegar. Place poached egg on top of Canadian bacon. Make Hollandaise for the topping by whisking an egg yolk together with butter, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. This should be done over boiling water (turn off heat to avoid over cooking eggs while whisking). Add cold butter patties to the egg mixture a little at a time. Half a stick of butter will be enough. As you whisk and add the butter patties, the sauce will thicken upon using up the half stick of butter. Spoon sauce over the poached egg. Serve hot.
