Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 6 English muffins, sliced in half
- 6 egg yolks, at room temperature
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice, strained
- 12 ounces unsalted butter
- 2 Tablespoons hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 12 slices Canadian bacon
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup scallions, finely chopped
Instructions
- Fill a small saucepan with 3 to 4 inches of cold water and bring to a light simmer.
- Stir in the vinegar and reduce heat to maintain a simmer without boiling.
- Crack eggs into a small bowl one at a time and gently slip into the simmering water.
- Allow cooking for about 4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are runny, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Slice the English muffins in half and place on a baking sheet.
- Toast for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden, then set aside.
- Combine egg yolks and lemon juice in a blender on medium speed.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan until liquefied, then slowly pour it into a measuring cup.
- Add hot water to the egg yolk mixture, pulsing until combined.
- While blending on low, slowly pour in the melted butter, ensuring not to splash.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend on high for 30 seconds until mixed well.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add Canadian bacon and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
- Chop herbs and set aside for garnish.
- To assemble: Place English muffin halves on a platter, top with Canadian bacon, a poached egg, hollandaise sauce, and herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure your eggs are as fresh as possible for the best poaching results.
For a thinner hollandaise sauce, add a bit more hot water until desired consistency is achieved.
Feel free to substitute Canadian bacon with ham or smoked salmon for a twist.
