Quick and Easy Eggs Benedict

This is a no-fuss, easy recipe. The sauce is simply put together in a blender - no double boiling necessary. Assemble eggs with sauce over hot buttered English muffins with Canadian bacon, or if you prefer, Serrano ham. Yum!

Step: 1

In a skillet over medium-high heat, fry the Canadian bacon on each side until evenly browned.

Step: 2

Fill a large saucepan with about 3 inches water, and bring to a simmer. Pour in the vinegar. Carefully break the 4 eggs into the water, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until whites are set but yolks are still soft. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon.

Step: 3

Meanwhile, melt the butter until bubbly in a small pan or in the microwave. Remove from heat before butter browns.

Step: 4

In a blender or large food processor, blend the egg yolks, heavy cream, cayenne pepper, and salt until smooth. Add half of the hot butter in a thin steady stream, slow enough so that it blends in at least as fast as you are pouring it in. Blend in the lemon juice using the same method, then the remaining butter.

Step: 5

Place open English muffins onto serving plates. Top with 1 slice Canadian bacon and 1 poached egg. Drizzle with the cream sauce, and serve at once.

Eating healthy breakfast to continue the day has become a fabulous habit. It’s a great way to start my 24 hours off healthfully. The sugar hit from the fruit wakes me up and gives me power to take on the morning. Sugar is often vilified as the evil of all disease, but fruit is also loaded with fibre, which is great for your digestive system and helps keep you feeling full all day , and less likely grab a side food out of the vending machine before lunchtime.

Make fruit a at 7.00 clock habit is simple . Simply put the sweetness in your refrigerator next to the sweet drink or on the table next to your cereal bowl , or beside your coffee maker or tea kettle — about anywhere where you’ll see it. Before you eat the rest of your breakfast , eat your fruit. If you’re not usually a breakfast person.
