Lobster Eggs Benedict
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 lobster tails, cooked and meat removed
- 4 English muffins, split and toasted
- 8 eggs
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.
- Carefully crack 4 eggs into the simmering water and poach for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter, whisking constantly, until a smooth hollandaise sauce forms. Season with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- To assemble, place the toasted English muffin halves on serving plates. Top each half with a generous portion of lobster meat, followed by a poached egg. Spoon the hollandaise sauce over the eggs and garnish with chopped chives.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the luxurious flavors of Lobster Eggs Benedict!
