Eggs Benedict

Eggs Benedict

For 4 eggs:

4 English muffins
8 slices smoked salmon or ham
4 very fresh eggs, drained of louse whites and poached for 3 minutes

For Hollandaise:

1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon lemon juice from 1 lemon
Pinch Kosher salt
½ stick unsalted butter

Prep english muffins and sliced meat. Set up mise-en-place

Combine egg yolk, water, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in the bottom of a cup that barely fits the head of an immersion blender.

Melt butter in a small saucepan that is easy to pour from over high heat, swirling constantly, until foaming subsides.

While eggs are poaching, place head of immersion blender into the bottom of the cup and turn it on. With the blender constantly running, slowly pour hot butter into cup. It should emulsify with the egg yolk and lemon juice. Continue pouring until all butter is added. Sauce should be thick and creamy.

Serve immediately.
