Ingredients

• 4 eggs size L, preferably;
• 2 tablespoons of vinegar;
• 2 english muffins or 2 slices of loaf bread;
• 100 grams of butter;
• 8 slices of bacon, ham or smoked salmon;
• Chives

For hollandaise sauce:

• 2 spoons of lemon juice
• 2 spoons of vinegar
• 3 egg yolks
• 125 grams of butter

1º Start to make the hollandaise sauce

To make hollandaise sauce you should start with pouring lemon juice and vinegar on a small bowl, add yolks and mix it well with a whisk, preferably.
When the mixture gets uniform, you can stop the whisking.
Next, put the bowl over a pan with hot water and blend until it starts to thicken. Slowly, add 100 grams of butter.
After adding all the necessary quantity of butter, continue to wrap until the mix starts to get thick. You have to pay special attention to your bowl, you must not let it get too much hot, taking the risk of cooking the yolks.
Continue to blend until our mix forms a shape of ribbon when you pour it with the whisk. When the sauce starts to reach this point, it’s perfect! Now let it rest and let’s prepare our eggs.

2º Prepare the eggs

Boil water on a pan and poach the eggs, or choose to use the microwave egg poacher from Joseph Joseph. This poacher will facilitate and will make your eggs benedict in a perfect way. Master the art of poaching eggs in a quicker and easier way!

3º Toast the slices of bread

To plate the eggs, it is necessary to toast the slices of loaf bread or, if you prefer it like us, you should toast slightly the muffins.
Then, place two slices of bacon already fried on each half of the muffins or on the bread slices. Next, add an egg to each one and lastly cover the eggs with a generous dose of hollandaise sauce.
