Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 4 eggs
- 4 thin slices Canadian bacon
- 2 English muffins
Hollandaise sauce:
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and hot
- Salt and pepper

Directions
In a large skillet, bring 2 inches of water and the vinegar to a boil. Crack one egg into a glass. Reduce water to a simmer and pour egg into water in one quick motion. Quickly add remaining eggs. Let eggs cook for 4-5 minutes. The white should be firm but the yellow should be runny. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
In a non-stick skillet heat the bacon until warm. Toast the English muffins until golden.
For the sauce: Place yolks, water and lemon juice into blender. Blend for 1 minute. With blender running, pour butter through open hole of blender lid. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
To assemble eggs benedict: Top each muffin with bacon and a poached egg. Pour warm sauce over and garnish with paprika and chopped parsley.

My fiance and I tried it for the first time over the weekend. The blender was a much better option instead of a double broiler. I agree the hollandaise needed a little punch, but over all it was great! I will definitely make this again.

I though I'd try this out because it looked simple. However, when all was done and all that was left to do was to try it - absolutely failed! The hollandaise was horrible! It just tasted like butter, butter, butter & more butter w/ a hint of lemon...

I tried another recipe for Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce and found it to be very labor intensive. This recipe was much easier using the blender. I also purchased an egg poacher to use in the microwave because I could not get the eggs to cook properly using the boiling method. My Hollandaise sauce was perfect! I will still try to perfect the boiling method, but the microwave poacher worked very well.
