Foolproof Hollandaise Eggs Benny

If making homemade Eggs Benedict intimidates you, let us turn you on to this amazing foolproof recipe. Plochman’s Classic Dijon Mustard makes the hollandaise ultra-easy and packed with tangy flavor, all in a recipe that’s very hard to mess up.

Active Time: 15 Min.

Total Time: 25 Min.

Servings: 2 to 4

Ingredients

For the bacon and egg sandwich:
  • 4 slices Canadian bacon
  • 4 sourdough English muffins, toasted
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • 4 large eggs
  • Kosher salt, to taste
For the hollandaise:
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 Tbsp Plochman’s Classic Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup clarified butter or ghee
  • Thinly sliced chives, for garnish

Directions

  1. To make the bacon and egg sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the bacon on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Place one slice on top of each English muffin.
  2. Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water. Add the vinegar and bring to a very low simmer. Crack the eggs into the water, making sure the eggs do not touch. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping the eggs halfway through, until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place one egg on top of each slice of bacon. Season with salt.
  3. To make the hollandaise sauce: In a 2-cup heatproof measuring cup, combine the egg yolks, mustard, water, cayenne, and salt. In a small pot, heat the clarified butter to 210ºF.
  4. Place an immersion blender into the measuring cup. While running the blender, slowly pour in the melted butter until the sauce thickens and is silky, about 1 minute.
  5. Immediately spoon the sauce over the biscuits and garnish with chives.
Kick It Up a Notch: Swap out the Classic Dijon for Plochman’s Horseradish or Chicago Fire Mustard for a spicy hollandaise sauce.
