How to Make 10 Minute Eggs Benedict

Jump to Recipe • Print Recipe

When I think of Eggs Benedict, I think of lazy Sunday mornings with late breakfasts and hot coffee. Nothing fussy, just simple and delicious.

But I also love the simplicity of this recipe for brunches or even light dinners on busy weeknights.

The best part of Eggs Benedict is that it is a whole meal in one and can be dressed up or down depending upon the sides you choose.

Try serving it with a light dressed salad, with an accompanying citrus dressing like my Honey-Lime Dressing.

And, also if you’re not a fan of ham, try smoked bacon.

To Begin:

Start with my Easy Poached Eggs recipe. Boil them in ramekins as directed.

Note: For softer eggs, cook for approximately 7-8 minutes rather than the 10 minute recipe.

And, while cooking the eggs, prepare this tried and true recipe for 5 Minute Blender Hollandaise Sauce. There’s no chance of your sauce failing or separating. That’s the beauty of this recipe.

Finally, toast your English Muffins, heat up sliced cooked ham or Canadian bacon (also in the microwave for about a minute or so), and then assembling everything.

Serve warm. Enjoy!
