Eggs are good for breakfast as they provide the human body with a supply of protein and essential amino acids for the whole day and are well absorbed at the same time. They are an easily digestible high-protein product and practically do not contain carbohydrates. Eggs prevent hunger for a long time and that is why they are often included in weight loss diets. One egg contains vitamins A, E, B2, B5, B12 and selenium, calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, manganese and many other nutrients.

Eggs Benedict Recipe

Eggs Benedict Recipe weekend breakfast ideas

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 2 fresh eggs
  • 2 slices cooked ham or prosciutto cotto
  •  English muffins
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives

For Hollandaise Sauce

  • 5 oz/150 g butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper

Directions:

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Cut the butter on cubes and add to a saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and let it melt completely. Once bubbles start to form, remove from the heat.

Add egg, egg yolk and vinegar (or lemon juice) to a measuring bowl (or in a blender jug). Season with black pepper. Using a blender or an immersion blender, blend until the mixture is pale and fluffy.

Slowly, gradually, pour the hot melted butter in a thin stream into the egg mixture while blending on high speed. When the sauce begins to thicken, you can start pouring the butter in quicker. The sauce will be thick, creamy and velvety. Season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper.

POACHED EGGS

Crack the eggs into four individual small bowls. Fill a large pot with 1 1/2 liter of water. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a minimum to a bare simmer. Using a whisk, create a whirlpool, then carefully tip the first two eggs into the water. Cook for 3 – 4 minutes, stirring the water occasionally to prevent the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Remove the eggs carefully with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.

SERVE

Cut two English muffins in half lengthwise and toast them until they are golden brown. Divide between two plates. Place a slice of cooked ham over each half of the English muffin and carefully place the poached egg on top. Slightly season the egg with salt, then spoon the Hollandaise sauce on top. Sprinkle with chopped chives and black pepper. Serve immediately.
