CLASSIC EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• Make the hollandaise sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until no longer foamy (but not browned), 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the clear butter to a liquid measuring cup, leaving the milk solids on the bottom of the pan; discard the solids.
• Heat 1 inch of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not simmering. Combine the egg yolks, 1 tablespoon water and 2 teaspoons lemon juice in a medium stainless-steel bowl. Set the bowl on the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking constantly, until the egg mixture is pale yellow and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Check periodically to make sure the water isn't boiling or the egg yolks might overcook.
• Remove the bowl from the saucepan; slowly pour in the melted butter, a drop at a time at first, whisking constantly until thick. Whisk in the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice, the cayenne and ¼ teaspoon salt. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in some warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen. Return the bowl to the saucepan of water with the heat turned off to keep warm; whisk occasionally.
• Make the Eggs Benedict: Fill a large wide pot with 3 inches of water. Heat over medium-high heat until steaming with small bubbles; reduce the heat as needed to maintain a bare simmer. Stir in the vinegar. Crack 4 eggs into individual small bowls or ramekins. Carefully tip the eggs into the water, spacing them as far apart as possible. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 3½ minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with a kitchen towel. Gently blot the eggs dry and trim off any wispy pieces. Repeat with the remaining 4 eggs.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until lightly browned and warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Meanwhile, toast the English muffins and spread with butter.
• Top each English muffin half with a slice of Canadian bacon and a poached egg. Thin the hollandaise sauce with more warm water, if necessary, and season with salt. Spoon over the poached eggs and sprinkle with chopped chives.

EGGS BENEDICT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• For the casserole: Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the butter.
• Split the English muffins open. Shingle the English muffins split-sides up in the baking dish in 2 rows, alternating tops and bottoms. Place 1 slice of Canadian bacon in between each piece.
• Whisk together the milk, cream, nutmeg, salt, pepper and eggs in a medium bowl until well combined. Pour the custard over the top of the English muffins, then cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours or up to overnight. (See Cook's Note.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the casserole dish and replace with foil. Bake 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake until the casserole is set and the English muffins and bacon have browned on the edges, an additional 30 minutes.
• For the hollandaise sauce: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the yolks, lemon juice, salt and cayenne to a blender and blend for 1 minute. With the blender running, pour the melted butter very slowly through the open hole of the blender lid.
• For the poached eggs: Fill a large saucepan with 2 quarts water. Add the vinegar and bring to a steady simmer over medium-high heat.
• Crack 4 eggs into small cups or glasses. (If your simmering water has reduced too much, add a bit more water and bring back to a steady simmer.) Slip the eggs into the water in one quick motion. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Repeat with 4 more eggs.
• Arrange 4 eggs on each side of the baked casserole. Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the top and sprinkle with the chives. Serve while still warm with extra hollandaise sauce on the side. (If the sauce has thickened too much, whisk it with a tablespoon of water.)

THE BEST EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Fill a large saucepan with 2 quarts water. Add the vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, toast the English muffins until golden brown. Spread with butter and place on one side of a baking sheet. Keep warm in the oven.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until heated through, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer the bacon to the other side of the baking sheet to keep warm.
• Melt the remaining butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the yolks, lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the cayenne to a blender. Blend for 1 minute. With the blender running, pour the melted butter very slowly through the open hole of the blender lid until smooth, thick and emulsified. Transfer the sauce back to the saucepan and place in the oven to keep warm.
• Crack the whole eggs into small cups or glasses. If your simmering water has reduced too much, add a bit more water and bring back to a steady simmer. When the water is at a steady simmer, slip the eggs into the water in one quick motion, arranging them clockwise in the pan so you know which will be ready first.. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
• Top each muffin half with a slice of Canadian bacon and a poached egg. Pour hollandaise sauce over each muffin. (If the sauce has thickened too much, whisk it with a tablespoon of water.) Sprinkle each serving with a little cayenne and serve immediately.

EGGS BENEDICT AND EASY HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Break each egg into an individual small bowl and set aside. Fill a large (12-inch) saute pan about half full with water and bring to a boil. Carefully slide each egg into a separate corner of the pan and simmer for exactly 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the eggs to sit in the water for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the slices of prosciutto on a sheet pan and roast for 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Place both halves of each toasted muffin on a dinner plate and, using a slotted spoon, slide a poached egg onto each half. Drizzle hollandaise sauce over the poached eggs and garnish with chives. Serve with a slice of prosciutto.
• Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in the jar of a blender and process on low for 15 seconds. Melt the butter in a small saucepan until it is sizzling hot. Remove the small clear insert in the top of the blender. With the blender on low, slowly add the hot butter to the egg and lemon mixture and blend for 30 seconds, until the sauce is very thick. Use immediately.

HOW TO MAKE EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• Bring the poaching water to a simmer: While the bacon is cooking, bring a large saucepan two-thirds-filled with water to a boil, then add the vinegar. Bring the water to a boil again, then lower the heat to a bare simmer.
• Toast the English muffins: As soon as all the eggs are in the poaching water, begin toasting your English muffins. If you can't get all the muffins toasted by the time the eggs are ready, gently remove the eggs from the poaching water and set in a bowl.

Add the onion, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs and mustard. Gently fold until well mixed, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Shape into six 1-inch-thick patties, each about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Heat a thin layer of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Cover and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes longer. Keep hot.
• For the hollandaise sauce: Microwave the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until melted and very hot, at least 30 to 40 seconds. In a blender or in the cup of an immersion blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice and mustard. Blend until the yolks are smooth and whipped.
• With the blender running, slowly pour in the hot butter. Season the sauce with the cayenne and salt to taste. Keep warm until ready to use.
• For assembly: Pour 2 inches of water into a large skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Crack each egg into a small cup or bowl and gently tip it into the simmering water. Cook for 2 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water until the whites are set and the yolks just begin to firm, about 3 minutes longer. Remove each egg with a slotted spoon and allow to drain in the spoon over a paper towel to remove any excess water.

• While the water gets boiling, place a griddle on medium heat. Add oil and 1 teaspoons clarified butter. Tilt the pan so the ingredients cover the entire bottom. When it gets hot, add English muffin halves pressing down slightly to adhere to the griddle; cook for 2 minutes or until golden. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer on plates and set aside.
• Add the remaining teaspoons of butter and cook back bacon for 2 to 2 ½ minutes or until golden. Flip and cook for another 2 to 2 ½ minutes. Place each slice on top of an English muffin half; set aside.
