Picture
What you need:
Hollandaise sauce:
3 egg yolks
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cold water
1/2 cup butter
dash of cayenne
1 tsp salt
 
Benedict:
3 English muffins
6 eggs
6 slices ham
Hint of Spicy Paprika Blend
2 Tbsp butter


​Method:
Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, cold water, and salt.
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.
Gradually whisk yolk mixture into butter.
Continue whisking over low heat for 8 minutes, or until sauce is thickened. Keep warm in the pan.
 
Benedict:
In a skillet bring 3 inches of water to a simmer.
In a separate skillet, sauté the ham slices, both sides. Split and toast the English muffins. Place toasted muffins open face on plates. Place the ham slices on English muffins.
Add a splash of white vinegar to the simmering water. Crack the eggs, one at a time into a small glass. Gently swirl the water, then gently pour the egg into the simmering water. Cook until the whites are done. Remove egg with a slotted spoon and place on ham.
Top with warm hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle a little Hint of Spicy Paprika Blend over top.
