  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh pepper, to taste
  • Lemon juice, to taste
  • English muffins

Method

9 steps
  1. Cook the hollandaise sauce by placing a glass bowl over a rolling boil with butter, whisking the egg yolks and vinegar until creamy and thick, then slowly adding butter while whisking continuously.
  2. Keep the hollandaise warm over a warm water bath.
  3. Toast the English muffins in a hot pan to make them crispy.
  4. Fry Parma ham slices in a hot pan until crispy.
  5. Bring water to a boil with a splash of vinegar, then spin the water to create turbulence.
  6. Crack an egg into a cup, then gently drop it into the turbulent water, using a cup to help guide the egg in.
  7. Cook the egg until the white is set and the yolk is at the desired doneness, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on tissue paper.
  8. Assemble the Eggs Benedict by placing a slice of Parma ham on each muffin half, then top with a poached egg.
  9. Spoon hollandaise sauce over the eggs, covering them completely.
