I love Eggs Benedict. If a brunch menu has them, you can count on me to order them. I am never disappointed. Seriously, try to find somewhere that serves bad eggs benedict. I don\u2019t think it exists. Naturally the next step in my love of eating eggs benedict was to make them myself. Pioneer Woman<\/a> never fails to disappoint with a fabulous recipe. I was terrified about poaching the eggs properly, but take a look at how everything worked out!<\/p>\n

Prep time:<\/strong> 15 minutes
\nCook time:<\/strong> 15 minutes
\nYields:<\/strong> 2 Eggs Benedict<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong>
\n2 English muffins<\/strong>
\n1 cup spinach<\/strong>
\nPinch of garlic powder<\/strong>
\nTablespoon of olive oil<\/strong>
\n2 whole eggs<\/strong>
\n3 egg yolks<\/strong>
\n2 sticks butter<\/strong>
\nJuice of 1 lemon<\/strong>
\nCayenne pepper<\/strong> (to taste)<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong>
\nBring a pot of water to a rolling boil. This is important!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Saut\u00e9 spinach to taste. I used a pinch of garlic powder and about a tablespoon of olive oil. Spinach should shrink and look wilted. Set aside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Poach eggs as follows, and don\u2019t panic! It will be fine, I promise.<\/p>\n

With a wooden spoon, stir boiling water until there is a small tornado in your pot. I\u2019m serious. The faster the better!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is me trying to tornado boiling water and photograph at the same time. It didn’t go as well as I planned.\u00a0Crack one egg into a bowl and then pour it into the swirling tornado of boiling water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cross your fingers and hope for the best! The swirling motion should make the egg stay together, but don\u2019t be alarmed if some egg whites separate. I poached my eggs one at a time so as not to panic too much about it not working. It was surprisingly not as difficult as I thought it would be, although my eggs did end up being significantly smaller than expected in the end.\u00a0Boil eggs for 2-2 \u00bd minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Prep for the Hollandaise sauce by separating 3 egg yolks into a bowl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Juice 1 lemon and set aside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>These next steps are very important! Follow me close.<\/p>\n

Melt two sticks of butter in a pan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Put your 3 egg yolks in a blender and blend on low speed until combined.\u00a0Once your butter has completely melted, open the top of the blender and slowly pour the butter into the egg yolks while the blender is still running on low. Beware of splattering!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Once butter has been mixed in, add lemon juice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Finally, add cayenne pepper to taste. Blend until the sauce is thick and not super runny anymore.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Toast English muffins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Time to plate your delicious meal!\u00a0Butter your English muffins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Add saut\u00e9ed spinach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Layer on your poached eggs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Top with many, many spoonfuls of Hollandaise sauce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dive in and enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s it — enjoy these babies on your weekend to make it perfect.<\/p>\n

How do you poach eggs? Do you use a fancy poacher, or do you do it tornado-style?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
