How to make Eggs Benedict with Bacon and Hollandaise Sauce
Poached Eggs
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer.
Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the water.
Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Bacon and Bread
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Toast the bread slices until golden brown.
Hollandaise Sauce
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
In a blender, combine egg yolks and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture lightens in color.
Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while blending until the sauce thickens.
Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
Assembly
Place a slice of toasted bread on each plate.
Top each slice with crispy bacon and a poached egg.
Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and serve immediately.
