Advice

Making eggs benedict is not as difficult as it looks. To get the best results, start by toasting the English muffin until golden brown and buttering each side. Then, take a sauté pan and prepare the poached eggs. To do this, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add some vinegar. Crack the eggs into a bowl and gently slide them into the water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are cooked and the yolk is still runny. Place the poached eggs on top of the English muffin and top with a slice of cooked ham or bacon and Hollandaise sauce. Finally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve. Enjoy!
