Avocado Eggs Benedict
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins, split and toasted
- 4 eggs
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
- Hollandaise sauce:
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until the mixture is thickened and doubled in volume.
- Place the bowl over the saucepan of simmering water (double boiler) and continue to whisk rapidly. Be careful not to let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble.
- Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and doubled in volume. Remove from heat, whisk in the cayenne pepper, and set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, bring about 3 inches of water to a boil. Add the white vinegar.
- Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Crack one egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk, or 5-6 minutes for a firmer yolk.
- While the eggs are cooking, place the sliced avocado on top of the toasted English muffins.
- Once the eggs are done, remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- Place the poached eggs on top of the avocado slices, then spoon the hollandaise sauce over the eggs.
- Season with salt, pepper, and chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
