Egg benedict
Egg Benedict is a classic breakfast dish that combines the richness of a poached egg with the creamy tanginess of hollandaise sauce, all atop an English muffin.

Easy way to cook Egg benedict
- Toast the English muffins until golden brown. Rub the surface with butter or brush lightly with melted butter.
Set aside. - In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 10g of butter. Whisk in 30ml of milk and 10ml of white vinegar.
Season with ½ teaspoon salt and black pepper. - Reduce the heat to low, stirring constantly until the hollandaise thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 50g of cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Set aside.
- In a shallow pan over medium-low heat, add 10ml of white vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl. Once the
vinegar starts to bubble, gently pour the egg into the pan. - Cook for 3–4 minutes for a poached egg (the white
should be set but the yolk still runny). Repeat with the remaining eggs. - Lightly toast the English muffins and spread with melted butter.
- In a small saucepan, make the hollandaise sauce by whisking together butter, milk, vinegar, salt, pepper, and
cheese until smooth and slightly thickened. - Poach the eggs in vinegar for 3–4 minutes until set but not overcooked.
- Place a toasted English muffin on a plate, top with a poached egg, and generously spoon hollandaise sauce over the top. Garnish with chives or pepper.
