Eggs Benedict Recipe
Ingredients
• 4 egg yolks 
• 3 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 pinch ground white pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 cup butter, melted
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 8 eggs
• 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
• 8 strips bacon 
• 4 English muffins, split
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
 

Directions

To make the Hollandaise

1. Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that the water does touch the top pan. Bring the water to a simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk the egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of water.

2. Add the melted butter to the egg yolk mixture (1 or 2 tablespoons at a time) while whisking constantly. If the Hollandaise sauce starts to get too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all the butter has been incorporated. Whisk in the salt, remove from the heat, and place a lid on the pan to keep the sauce warm.

To poach eggs

1. Fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer, then add vinegar. Carefully break the eggs into the simmering water, and allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes. The yolks should be soft in the center. Remove the eggs from the water and set on a warm plate.

2. While the eggs are poaching, brown the bacon in a medium skillet over a medium-high heat and toast the English muffins on a baking sheet.

3. Spread softened butter on the toasted muffins, and top each one with a slice of bacon, followed by a poached egg. Place two muffins on each plate and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with some chopped chives and serve immediately.
