Recipe: Eggs Benedict

Ingredients:

1. 4 English muffins, split and toasted

2. 8 slices of Canadian bacon or ham

3. 8 eggs

4. 1/2 cup unsalted butter

5. 3 egg yolks

6. 1 tablespoon lemon juice

9. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. In a large skillet, fry the Canadian bacon or ham over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Set aside.

3. Fill a large saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a simmer. Crack an egg into a small cup or ramekin. Gently slide the egg into the water and repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.

5. In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Blend for about 5 seconds.

6. With the blender still running, slowly pour in the melted butter. Blend for about 30 seconds or until the mixture has thickened and is smooth.
