on Jan 07, 2013, Updated Nov 19, 2024 55 Comments Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite breakfasts. I created a simplified version to make it at home in minutes without long or complicated steps. It’s so tasty and easy to make that I have declared it the best Eggs Benedict recipe ever!
How to Make Easy Eggs Benedict
My easy recipe simplifies how Eggs Benedict is made so that every home cook can enjoy making them anytime. This updated method is so easy to make at home now, so you don’t have to wait for a restaurant brunch to enjoy it! You may also want to try my Eggs Benedict with Asparagus too. Canadian Bacon – Traditionally, Canadian bacon is used, but you can also use cooked ham or bacon in my recipe. English Muffins – Split the muffins in half and butter before toasting in the oven. Eggs – You’ll use six large eggs for this recipe. Hollandaise Sauce – This easy sauce comes together in 5 minutes in the blender with just 5 ingredients. Cook the bacon – Place the Canadian bacon (or ham) onto a wire rack placed onto a baking sheet and bake until browned, about 15 minutes. (See How to Cook Bacon in the Oven if you wish to use standard bacon.) Cook Eggs in the Oven – Rather than poaching eggs over a low simmer on the stovetop, I use my oven. Simply add water to each cup of a muffin pan, and then add your egg. Place your muffin pan filled with eggs into the oven during the last few minutes of the cooking time for your Canadian bacon. This little secret saves so much time, and the eggs turn out perfectly every time! Toast the English Muffins – Put the buttered English Muffins into the bottom rack of the oven at the same time as the eggs. Make Blender Hollandaise Sauce – Use my easy blender hollandaise sauce recipe to make the hollandaise sauce while the bacon, eggs, and toast are cooking. It will whip up easily in the blender in about 5 minutes. Assemble the Eggs Benedict – Place toasted English muffin on a plate and top each with Canadian bacon. Use a silicone spatula to gently remove a poached egg from the muffin tin and drain each on a paper towel to remove any excess water before layering onto top of the bacon. Then drizzle the top of the assembled eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce. Serve warm.
Make Eggs Benedict for a Crowd
This updated method is perfect for serving Eggs Benedict to larger crowds. The recipe is for six people but can easily be adjusted to serve more. If you look at the photo of my eggs in the muffin tin and the buttered English muffins on the baking sheet, you’ll likely notice that I even doubled my recipe when I made them! Even though an eggs benedict brunch or breakfast is so special, it can be so simple using my recipe! It is so easy that I feel like I’m cheating when I serve it.
