How to Make Classic Eggs Benedict Recipe

Today, I'm going to show you how to make this classic American breakfast dish, Eggs Benedict. This recipe is super rich and delicious, making it the perfect breakfast for a weekend morning. To start off, we'll make a batch of hollandaise sauce from scratch. Once the sauce is done, set it aside and move on to preparing the eggs. For this recipe, you'll need four poached eggs. If you're not familiar with poaching eggs, I have a separate video that shows you how. Again, you can find the link in the description box or the video. While the eggs are poaching, get your English muffins and Canadian bacon ready. Heat a cast iron griddle over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon or two of vegetable oil and a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, place the halved English muffins on the griddle and toast them until golden brown. Remove them from the griddle and set them on plates. Next, grill the Canadian bacon slices for about a minute on each side, just to warm them up and add some color. Remove them from the griddle. By this time, the eggs should be fully poached. Carefully transfer them from the paper towel to the English muffin halves. Finally, ladle some of the homemade hollandaise sauce onto the eggs. And there you have it, the Crouton Crackerjacks way to make Eggs Benedict. Enjoy!
