Many people shy away from Eggs Beny, thinking it’s too much work, but it’s actually much easier than you think. With some extra zip, this recipe is a Christmas Brunch favorite in our home. Once you see how easy it is, it may become a favorite in yours too.

Instructions
Hollandaise Sauce

Poached Eggs

- Crack eggs one at a time into pan (don't forget to add the other egg whites…)
- cook until desired doneness- approximately 3 minutes for runny yolks
English Muffins and Bacon

- toast English muffins (tops only), using broiler or toaster oven
Assembly
- place 1 slice of bacon on 1 half English muffin
- top with poached egg and season with salt and pepper
- Spoon Hollandaise sauce on top

Notes
- use fresh eggs
- don’t salt water for boiling (it makes it too hot!)
- swirl water with spoon before adding eggs to keep eggs from separating
