16 Eggs Benedict Recipe South Africa Prepare To Be Amazed!

Ingredients:

For the Eggs Benedict:

• 4 English muffins, halved and toasted
• 8 slices of Canadian bacon or ham
• 8 eggs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh chives or parsley, chopped for garnish

For the Hollandaise Sauce:

• 3 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• Salt and cayenne pepper, to taste

Instructions:

To make the perfect eggs benedict, we will start by preparing the hollandaise sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until well combined. Gradually pour the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to create a smooth and creamy sauce. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.

Next, we will move on to preparing the eggs. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup. Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water and cook for 2-3 minutes for a soft yolk or 3-4 minutes for a firmer yolk. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the eggs from the water and set them aside on a paper towel to drain.

Now, it's time to assemble the eggs benedict. Place the toasted English muffins on a plate and top each half with a slice of Canadian bacon or ham. Carefully place a poached egg on top of each English muffin half. Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the eggs and garnish with chopped chives or parsley.
