Description

Layers of crispy English muffin, heirloom tomato, fresh basil and creamy mozzarella are topped with a poached egg and lemony basil hollandaise sauce! The ultimate summer Eggs Benedict!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BENEDICT:
  • 1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
  • 4  English Muffin Halves
  • 4  Large Eggs
  • 8 ounces, weight Fresh Mozzarella, Sliced Thinly
  • 1  Large Heirloom Tomato, Thinly Sliced
  • 8  Large Fresh Basil Leaves
  • Black Pepper And Kosher Salt
  • FOR THE BASIL HOLLANDAISE SAUCE:
  • 1  Large Egg Yolk
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 2  Large Basil Leaves
  • ¼ cups Melted Butter
  • Kosher Salt And Black Pepper

Preparation

1. Put a shallow pot of water over medium heat to simmer and add the vinegar.

2. While the water is simmering, make the Basil Hollandaise Sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and puree until very smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.

3. Toast the English muffin halves using your preferred method, until crisp and browned to your liking. Then top each with some of the mozzarella, tomatoes and basil.

Poach the eggs by swirling the simmering water hard with a spoon and then gently crack an egg into the center of the swirling water. Cook until the egg is half cooked through, but still runny in the center, about 3 minutes. Gently remove the cooked egg using a slotted spoon and allow the water to drip off and set aside on a plate while you poach the rest of the eggs.

4. Top each Eggs Benedict with an egg. Spoon the basil hollandaise over the egg. Serve hot.
