How To Make The Best Eggs Benedict Recipe
The first steps to making this classic eggs Benedict recipe, are to gather the ingredients that you want to use.
Now grab a small skillet and bring it to a medium heat. Add the Canadian bacon to the hot pan and warm until heated through and slightly golden brown. Set them aside on a plate with paper towel until ready to assemble.
Now bring a small saucepan of water to a simmer and carefully poach the egg for about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the perfectly poached egg from the simmering water.
Use a sharp paring knife to cut half of an avocado into slices.
When you have all the pieces ready to go, it is time to assemble. Start with the toasted english muffin, add the warm Canadian bacon, then avocado slices, the runny poached egg, and then pour as much hollandaise sauce as you want on top.
Add a generous sprinkling of goat cheese crumbles on top and enjoy!
Best Ways To Serve Eggs Benedict
The perfect eggs Benedict recipe is great all on its own, but if you really want to make a hearty breakfast you could also serve it alongside some American fries, fresh fruit, or a coffee smoothie. And if you are really making a big brunch spread you could add more classic brunch recipes, like banana bread or raspberry muffins.

Description
A delicious and easy recipe for the most amazing Eggs Benedict! Perfect for your next brunch or Mother’s Day breakfast!
Ingredients
- 1/2 english muffin, toasted (reg. or gluten-free)
- 1–2 slices canadian bacon
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- 1 egg, poached
- 1–2 tablespoons hollandaise sauce (more if desired)
- 1 tablespoon goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Canadian bacon: Quickly warm the slices of Canadian bacon in a small skillet on the stovetop or in the microwave, until warmed through.
- Poach eggs: Add 3-4 inches of water to a small or shallow saucepan. Crack an egg into a glass measuring cup or small bowl, set aside. Set the pot of water on the stovetop and turn to medium/high heat. When the water is just about to boil (you will see bubbles start to form at the bottom of the saucepan) take the glass measuring cup with the egg and dip the measuring cup into the water – don’t dump out the egg – but allow some of the hot water to fall over the edge of the measuring cup, enveloping the egg. This will start to cook the egg immediately (you will notice it start to turn white). Let the egg cook for 10-30 seconds in the cup and then slip egg completely into the warm water and continue cooking the egg for 3-4 minutes. Carefully remove with a slotted spoon.
- Assemble: Place a toasted english muffin half on a small plate and top with Canadian bacon, the avocado slices, poached egg, and then pour the hollandaise sauce on top. Finally, add a sprinkling of goat cheese and enjoy!
