Steps:
- Fill a large, wide pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Add the vinegar and reduce the heat until the water in the pan has no more bubbles.
- Very close to the surface of the water, crack the eggs and gently drop each egg into the water. Cook the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the pan and place in a bowl of cold water. Reserve the eggs in the cold water and reserve the poaching liquid to reheat the eggs. Obviously, if you are poaching the eggs a day ahead you can reheat the eggs in new water!
- Coat a large saute pan lightly with olive oil and bring to a medium heat. Add the slices of Canadian bacon and cook them on both sides until they are hot but not brown.
- Toast the English muffins. Place 1 slice Canadian bacon on each English muffin.
- Warm up the egg poaching liquid (or a pan of new water if you poached ahead) and place the eggs in the water for 1 minute or until the eggs are warm but not cooking any further. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the warm water, blot on a clean paper or tea towel and place 1 egg on each English muffin. Top with the Hollandaise Sauce.
- Toss the mesclun with lemon juice, big fat finishing oil and salt. Garnish each plate with the dressed greens.
- Wine Pairing Suggestion: Prosecco
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. While the butter is melting, skim off the froth that accumulates on the surface. Simmer the butter for 15 to 20 minutes and gently ladle off the clear butterfat into a measuring cup or small pitcher with a spout. Be sure to leave the milk solids in the bottom of the pan. This is called clarified butter.
- In a small saute pan, combine the vinegar and peppercorns and cook over a medium heat until almost all the vinegar has evaporated. Remove the pan from the heat and toss a couple ice cubes into the pan and let them sit until they have melted.
- In a medium metal bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become frothy and fluffy. Strain the peppercorn liquid into the egg mixture.
- Put 1-inch water into a medium saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Place the metal bowl on top of the saucepan and gently cook the eggs, whisking frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Very slowly begin to add the clarified butter. Start with 2 to 3 drops and continue with a couple more drops after the butter has incorporated.
- Continue to add a few drops of butter at a time. If the eggs seem to be cooking too quickly, pull the bowl off the saucepan and lower the heat. If the eggs start to curdle, toss in an ice cube immediately to cool down the eggs. Continue to add the butter a little at a time until it is all incorporated. The sauce should be fluffy and foamy.
- Once the butter is all combined, add the lemon juice and season the sauce with cayenne and salt.
- Serve over the poached eggs.
THE BEST EGGS BENEDICT
We engineered this classic brunch dish to guarantee your success. By getting the muffins and bacon ready in advance and keeping them warm in the oven, you can focus on poaching a perfect egg. A blender makes an easy, foolproof hollandaise sauce. We added plenty of lemon to make it bright and tangy.

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.

Steps:
- Sauté the ham slices in the butter for 2 minutes.
- Place the ham on English muffins.
- Poach the eggs in simmering water in a frying pan (a splash of white vinegar will help keep them together).
- When set remove with a slotted spoon and place on ham.
- Whirl eggs yolks, lemon juice and salt and pepper in blender on high for 30 seconds.
- Uncover and continue to blend on high while slowly adding the melted butter in a thin slow stream.

MISO EGGS BENEDICT
Miso has a salty flavor that replaces the Canadian Bacon used in traditional eggs Benedict. Have all the ingredients ready to go, and set the English muffins to toast at the same time as you put the eggs in to poach, so you can place the fresh poached eggs onto the freshly toasted muffins. Adapted from The Everything Vegetarian Cookbook. The Hollandaise sauce is what the French call a "mother sauce" meaning that it can be transformed into other sauces by adding just a few ingredients(tarragon, pepper, and shallots-bearnaise; mustard-Dijonnaise; orange concentrate-maltaise, etc.)

Steps:
- Combine the vinegar and salt in a deep skillet with 2" of water. Crack each egg into its own cup. When the water boils, lower flame as low as you can. Gently lower the eggs into the hot water, one by one, and pour them from the cups into the pan. Toast the English muffins.
- Poach the eggs for no more than 3 minutes, then remove them with a slotted spoon, allowing excess water to drain back into the skillet. Transfer the poaced eggs to a waiting plate.
- Mash the butter and miso together; spread this mixture onto the toasted muffins.
- Place 1 poached egg onto each muffin half. Spoon generous helpings of hollandaise sauce onto each, and serve immediately with a sprinkling of chives and hot pepper sauce on the side.
- To Make Hollandaise Sauce:.
- In a large, steel mixing bowl over a pot of simmering water, or in a double boiler over a very low flame, whisk together the yolks, half of the lemon juice, and 1 tbls. cold water.
- Whisk vigorously until the yolks attain a lemon yellow color and become thick(about the consistency of creamy salad dressing). Be careful not to let the eggs cook into lumps-keep whisking all the time, and remove the bowl from the heat if it starts getting too hot. Once yolks are ready, set the bowl they are in onto a damp towel on a firm surface. Whisk in a few drops of cold water, then a few drops of the melted butter. Gradually whip in the melted butter in small increments, making sure that each addition is thoroughly incorporated before adding any more. Season with cayenne, salt, and remaining lemon juice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Spread the pine nuts in an even layer on a quarter sheet pan (9-by-13-inches) and bake until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer immediately to a small plate.
- Pour 1/4 cup of oil onto the same sheet pan. Place the bread in an even layer on top and brush the top of each slice with 1 tablespoon of oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bake until the bread is toasted and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bread to a platter or 4 plates and reserve the sheet pan.
- Meanwhile, pour the remaining 1/2 cup of oil into a blender along with the basil, Parmesan, toasted pine nuts, lemon juice, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the pesto on the same sheet pan and use a spoon to spread it out evenly. Carefully crack the eggs into a pitcher or large liquid measuring cup. Gently pour the eggs on top of the pesto on the sheet pan. Bake until the whites are just set and the yolks are still runny, 6 to 8 minutes, or until the desired doneness.
- Use a spatula to top each slice of bread with 2 eggs (making sure to scoop up that pesto!). Top the eggs with the avocado and tomatoes. Drizzle with the chili crisp or sprinkle with the red pepper flakes. Drizzle with honey and serve.
